SQL Full Outer Join W/ Coalesce - sql

Why does this query produce duplicates in some scenarios?
Table_1
ID
1
2
3
Table_2
ID
1
2
4
Table_3
ID
1
3
4
Query:
SELECT COALESCE(Table_1.ID, Table_2.ID, Table_3.ID)
FROM Table_1
FULL OUTER JOIN TABLE_2
ON Table1.ID=Table_2.ID
FULL OUTER JOIN TABLE_3
ON Table1.ID=Table3.ID;
Result:
1
2
3
4
4
The query duplicates all values where T1 is null and T2/T3 share the same value. Duplicates are removed for any other combination.

This is a little bit hard to explain. If you show the other ids, you will see the full range of what happens:
"coalesce" "id1" "id2" "id3"
1 1 1 1
2 2 2 .
3 3 . 3
4 . 4 .
4 . . 4
You can see the results here.
So, You get one row because t1 & t2 create a row with t2.id = 4 and t1.id = null when they don't match. Then, you get the same thing when t3.id = 4. The comparison is to t1.id -- so you get another row. There is no comparison to t2.id.
I suspect that you intend logic more like this:
select coalesce(t1.id, t2.id, t3.id)
from t1 full join
t2
using (id) full join
t3
using (id);
Here is the SQL Fiddle.

Joining every row of table 1 to table 2

I have two tables identical to each other like below
table 1
col1
1
2
3
4
5
table 2
col1
1
2
3
4
5
is there way to write a SQL query to join every row of table 1 to every row of table 2?
Do you want a Cartesian product? If so, use cross join:
select t1.col1, t2.col2
from table1 t1 cross join
table2 t2;
It sounds like an inner join as they are identical tables:
select t1.col, t2.col, ...
from table t1
inner join t2 on t1.col = t2.col

SQL - how to generate distinct pairs from a single column

Could anyone help with how to take a single column:
ID
1
2
3
4
and show all possible distinct pairings in 2 columns:
ID ID
1 2
1 3
1 4
2 3
2 4
3 4
You can join the column on itself and arbitrarily decide that the left hand side will always be smaller than the right hand side (as the example shows):
SELECT t1.col, t2.col
FROM mytable t1
JOIN mytable t2 ON t1.col < t2.col
do self join
select t.id,t2.id from t t1 join t t2 on t.id<t1.id
A Simple Cartesian product should do
select distinct a.id as id_a, b.id as id_b
from test a, test b
where a.id<b.id;

How to select rows not present in another table with 2 columns comparison?

I have the following tables:
T1 T2 Desired result
CA CB CA CC CA CB
1 2 1 3 1 4
1 4 1 2 2 1
1 3 1 5 2 3
2 1 2 4
2 3
3 6
3 1
4 ...
I need to make a join between T1 and T2 (using column CA) and return only those rows which the values in CB do not exists in T2.CC
A simple way to achieve that is using the following query:
SELECT T1.* FROM T1 INNER JOIN T2 ON t1.CA = t2.CA AND
t1.CB NOT IN (SELECT CC FROM T2 WHERE T2.CA = T1.CA)
I think the previous query is not very efficient. For that reason I am looking for something better
Any help will be appreciated
Generally, a more efficient means of achieving this sort of result is finding records which fail a simpler join condition. Those can be found by doing an outer join and checking for null, as follows:
select t1.ca, t1.cb
from t1 left outer join t2 on t1.ca=t2.ca and t1.cb=t2.cc
where t2.ca is null;
I think you just want not exists:
select t1.*
from t1
where not exists (select 1
from t2
where t2.ca = t1.ca and t2.cb = t1.cb
);
For performance, you want an index on t2(ca, cb).

Joining tables without nulls

I'm not sure how to explain what I need but here's the data first:
Table 1
District
-1
3
2
1
3
Table 2
ID ID_Name
1 Main 1
2 Main 2
3 Main 3
How do I join the tables so that it looks like this?
District
-1
Main 3
Main 2
Main 1
Main 3
I'm assuming the second column is named Name for this, but you can do it with a COALESCE and a LEFT JOIN:
Select Coalesce(T2.Name, Str(T1.District)) As District
From Table1 T1
Left Join Table2 T2 On T1.District = T2.Id
assuming table 2 have
Table 2
ID col2
1 Main 1
2 Main 2
3 Main 3
you could use a left join
select table1.Distric, table2.col2
from table1
left join table2 on table1.dictrict = t2.ID
order by table2 col2
You can use left join:
Select coalesce(t2.col, t1.District) from table1 t1
left join table2 t2 on t1.District = t2.Id

sql with two table and group and result from that table?

I have two tables. I need to take away from the first table second table. Stim to another table without all the rows of the first table.
Table1
Table2
Result = Table1(value1) – Table2(value1) -----groupe no. 2 or no.1
Result (groupe no. 2)
Result
id value1 groupe
_______________________
1 10 2
2 9 2
3 10 2
5 5 2
6 11 2
7 12 2
I need the result of which I can write the group number and get result for that group.
Try this query:
Select
t1.id,
t1.value1-t2.value1 as value,
t1.groupe from
table1 t1,table2 t2
where t1.id=t2.id and t1.groupe=2;
try this:
SELECT
T1.id, T2.group, T1.valor - T2.valor AS value
FROM
Table1 T1 INNER JOIN
Table2 T2 ON T1.id = T2.id AND T1.group = T2.group
WHERE (T1.group = 2)
