RE: Pair and Non Pair Wise Comparison
 
In pair wise comparison we write like this:

"where (MGR_ID, DEPT_ID) IN (SUBQUERY)"

IN non pair wise comparison we write like this:

"where (MGR_ID) IN (SUBQUERY)
and (DEPT_ID) IN (SUBQUERY)"


In first one we are checking two columns simultaneously within a single query, whereas in the second one we are checking each column individually with two queries.

So the output will also differes, check it out by practical implementation.
