INTERSECT, MINUS

WHat is wring with the following three sentences?

SELECT p.name, p.gender, e.pizza FROM Person p, Eats e WHERE p.name =3D
e.name AND p.gender =3D 'female' AND (e.pizza =3D 'mushroom')
INTERSECT
SELECT p.name, p.gender, e.pizza FROM Person p, Eats e WHERE p.name =3D
e.name AND p.gender =3D 'female' AND (e.pizza =3D 'pepperoni');


SELECT * FROM Person MINUS SELECT * FROM Person WHERE name=3D'Amy';


mysql> SELECT name FROM Person MINUS SELECT name FROM Person WHERE Person.a=
ge <
18;

I've tried my first time sets and am not sure where is the problem,
I've tried to google but when translating to my db it just doesn't
work,
You can download the create db sql here:

Hi,

EXISTS function provides a simple way to find intersection between tables
(INTERSECT operator from relational model).

If we have table1 and table2, both having id and value columns, the
intersection could be calculated like this:

SELECT * FROM table1 WHERE EXISTS(SELECT * FROM table2 WHERE table1.id=3D
table2.id AND table1.value=3Dtable2.value)

For more details on intersect and minus, check this blog -
