I had only looked at the ANY and SOME syntax once before and did not see a need for them. They seem to perform exactly like the IN statement unless I am missing something. Are there any instances where you could not perform the same logic using IN instead of ANY?
You can use inequality comparisons with Any/Some. For example:
SELECT *
FROM ( VALUES ( 1), ( 2), ( 3) ) AS MyQuery (MyCol)
WHERE MyCol > ANY ( SELECT MyCol2
FROM ( VALUES ( 2), ( 3) ) AS MyQuery2 (MyCol2) ) ;
Note the use of ">ANY". IN will only do equality comparisons.
