Example: IN predicate
e.salary IN ( 10000, 15000 )is equivalent to
( e.salary = 10000 OR e.salary = 15000 )
e.salary IN ( select e1.salary from EmpBean e1 where e1.dept.deptno = 10)is equivalent to
e.salary = ANY ( select e1.salary from EmpBean e1 where e1.dept.deptno = 10)
e.salary NOT IN ( select e1.salary from EmpBean e1 where e1.dept.deptno = 10)is equivalent to
e.salary <> ALL ( select e1.salary from EmpBean e1 where e1.dept.deptno = 10)
