The **EXISTS** operator is a logical operator which returns **TRUE** if there is at least one element in the query and **FALSE** in another case. The next query returns all albums after 2008 first, and if at least such an album exists, retrieves **all the songs**:

SELECT title FROM songs
WHERE EXISTS
  (SELECT id FROM albums
  WHERE year > 2008)

We can also use `NOT EXISTS`. This operator can be used as an additional logical condition after the **WHERE** statement.
