no mysql right now (3.23) does not support inner selects.
however, it looks like you could join the 2 tables to get the result you
want
I'm assuming there are 2 tables inside the emp database ? or is emp the
table ?
anyway here is an idea:
select d1.ename, d1.deptno FROM emp.table1 d1, emp.table2 d2 WHERE d1.deptno
= d2.deptno AND d2.ename = 'SCOTT'
