Answer 1

An inline query is a type of sub-query present in FROM clause of a SQL as a data source.

Below is the type of sub-query:

If it present in the SELECT list, it is called “sub-select”.

If it present in the FROM clause, it is called “inline-query” or “inline-view”.

If it present in WHERE clause, it may be simple sub-query or “co-related sub-query”.

Hope this help.
