Multi-Column Comparison with Row Value Constructors

Row Value Constructors (Tuples) allow for comparing multiple columns as a single unit. This prevents the 'logic leak' where individual column matches (A or B) create false positives that a combined check (A and B) avoids.

SELECT *
FROM inventory_moves
WHERE (warehouse_id, shelf_id) IN (
    SELECT w_id, s_id FROM critical_zones
);

Breakdown
