Amazon Redshift will no longer support the use of Python UDFs after June 30, 2026. We will start enforcing it in phases. For more information on the details of Python end of life and migration options, see the blog post that was published on June 30, 2025.

EXISTS condition

EXISTS conditions test for the existence of rows in a subquery, and return true if a subquery returns at least one row. If NOT is specified, the condition returns true if a subquery returns no rows.

Syntax
