Answers that are supposed to be correct are ridiculous. Scalar subqueries do not have to fetch data from the same table as main query. It is NOT true that only one column can be compared between the subquery and main query - you can use subquery with EXISTS condition, and you can compare whatever you want with correlated subquery.
