Another solution in order to use INTERSECT in MySQL is to use IN clause. Problem: "Find course id’s of courses offered in Fall 2009 and Spring 2010"

//DML sample
(select course_id
from section
where semester = ‘Fall’ and year = ‘2009’)
intersect
(select course_id
from section
where semester = ‘Spring’ and year = ‘2010’);

In MySQL:

select distinct course_id
from section
where semester = 'Fall' and year= 2009 and
course_id in (select course_id
from section
where semester = 'Spring' and year= 2010);
