I would like to know what's the logic for multiple joins (for example below)
SELECT * FROM B returns 100 rows
SELECT B.* FROM B LEFT JOIN C ON B.ID = C.ID returns 120 rows
As I know using left join will returns any matching data from the left table which is B if data are found for both table. But how come when using left join, it returns more data than table B itself?
What am I do wrong or misunderstood here? Any guidance are very appreciated. Thanks in advance.
Let be table B:
id
----
1
2
3
Let be table C
id name
------------
1 John
2 Mary
2 Anne
3 Stef
Any id from b is matched with ids from c, then id=2 will be matched twice. So a left join on id will return 4 rows even if base table B has 3 rows.
Now look at a more evil example:
Table B
id
----
1
2
2
3
4
table C
id name
------------
1 John
2 Mary
2 Anne
3 Stef
Every id from b is matched with ids from c, then first id=2 will be matched twice and second id=2 will be matched twice so the result of
select b.id, c.name
from b left join c on (b.id = c.id)
will be
id name
------------
1 John
2 Mary
2 Mary
2 Anne
2 Anne
3 Stef
4 (null)
The id=4 is not matched but appears in the result because is a left join.
Look at the following example :
B = {1,2}
C = {(1,a),(1,b),(1,c),(1,d),(1,e)}
The result of B left join C will be :
1 | a
1 | b
1 | c
1 | d
1 | e
2 | null
The number of rows in the result is definitely larger than rows in B (2).
In general the number of rows in result of B left join C is bounded by B.size + C.size and not only by B.size as you think...
As per your query it do the join to B Table with C and B table is Left Table so it will display all the records of Left table in our case it is B and related from other Table in our Case it is C.

I have two SQL tables
TABLE A
id | user | embedding
-----------------------
1 Ram [.12,.56]
2 Shyam [.23,.24]
3 Ghanshyam [.23,.39]
4 Balram [.34,.39]
TABLE B
--------------------
id | users
--------------------
1 [Ram,Shyam]
2 [Ram,Ghanshyam]
3 [Ram, Balram]
And I want to have a query that will return essentially table B but with the users replaced by their embeddings.
Desired output
-----------------------------
id | users
-----------------------------
1 [[.12,.56],[.23.,.24]]
2 [[.12,.56],[.23,.39]]
3 [[.12,.56], [.34,.39]]
How can I do this?
how about using unnest and array_agg:
select b.id , array_agg(embedding)
from TableB b
cross join unnest(b.users) c(user)
join TableA a
on c.users = a.user
group by b.Id
I am struggeling with a left join on a Raima database. I'd like to add an additional join condition, but in this case the join behaves like an inner join, thus I am losing some of the expected results.
Example:
TABLE_A
ID
-------
1
2
3
4
.
TABLE_B
A_ID | B
--------
1 | 1
2 | 1
2 | 2
3 | 2
Query
select * from TABLE_A left join TABLE_B
on TABLE_A.ID = TABLE_B.A_ID
and TABLE_B.B = 1
I am expecting the following result:
1 1 1
2 2 1
3 null null
4 null null
E.g. on an Oracle 11g I get the expected result, but on the Raima it shows me only the first two results. What is the problem here and how to fix it?
You need this
select * from A left join
(select * from B where B=1) bd
on A.ID = bd.A_ID
The query you gave will not give you expected result in oracle also. This will.
PS: Please use different names for table and column
I have 2 tables like below:
Table 1
---------
1
2
3
Table 2
--------
A
B
C
How do i join to get an output like below:
Output
---------
1 A
1 B
1 C
2 A
2 B
2 C
3 A
3 B
3 C
Use Cross join:
SELECT *
FROM Table1
CROSS JOIN Table2
You can change the order by replacing * with table fields.
Read more about Cross Join.
OR you could do this:
SELECT Table1.*,Table2.*
FROM Table2,Table1
Result:
ID NAME
1 A
1 B
1 C
2 A
2 B
2 C
3 A
3 B
3 C
You want to do a CROSS JOIN and that will give you the Cartesian product of all the rows.
See http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Join_(SQL)
select * from table 1,table 2 .
For o/p like A 1
A 2
A 3
B 1
B 2
B 3
C 1
C 2
C 3

Does PostgreSQL support self joining or is there another way to solve this?
For example, lets say I have a single table (table a) with the following columns:
id name supid
------------------------
1 a 2
2 b 3
3 c 4
4 d 5
.. .. ..
Is there a way to output the data in the following format?
id name sup name
-------------------------
1 a b
2 b c
3 c d
4 d ..
.. .. ..
How about a simple JOIN?
SELECT a.id,a.name,b.name "sup name"
FROM tablea a
JOIN tablea b
ON a.supid = b.id
An SQLfiddle to test with.
id address retailer
1 A 11
2 A 11
3 A 11
4 A 12
5 A 13
6 B 12
7 B 12
8 B 13
My output should be
id address retailer
1 A 11
4 A 12
5 A 13
6 B 12
8 B 13
i.e my query should return id's which have same address but not same retailer.
How toget this?
Try to use group by clause as below:
select min(id), address, retailer
from tab
group by address, retailer
Assuming you're joining on columns with no duplicates, which is by far the most common case:
An inner join of A and B gives the result of A intersect B, i.e. the inner part of a venn diagram intersection.
An outer join of A and B gives the results of A union B, i.e. the outer parts of a venn diagram union.
Examples:
Suppose you have two Tables, with a single column each, and data as follows:
A B
- -
1 3
2 4
3 5
4 6
Note that (1,2) are unique to A, (3,4) are common, and (5,6) are unique to B.
Inner join:
An inner join using either of the equivalent queries gives the intersection of the two tables, i.e. the two rows they have in common.
select *
from a
INNER JOIN b on a.a = b.b;
select a.*,b.*
from a,b
where a.a = b.b;
a | b
--+--
3 | 3
4 | 4
Left outer join:
A left outer join will give all rows in A, plus any common rows in B.
select *
from a
LEFT OUTER JOIN b on a.a = b.b;
select a.*,b.*
from a,b
where a.a = b.b(+);
a | b
--+-----
1 | null
2 | null
3 | 3
4 | 4
Full outer join:
A full outer join will give you the union of A and B, i.e. All the rows in A and all the rows in B. If something in A doesn't have a corresponding datum in B, then the B portion is null, and vice versa.
select *
from a
FULL OUTER JOIN b on a.a = b.b;
a | b
-----+-----
1 | null
2 | null
3 | 3
4 | 4
null | 6
null | 5
select min(id) as id,address, retailer
from table1
group by address, retailer
order by id
The query you need is:
SELECT min(id), address, retailer
FROM table1 AS t1
group by address, retailer
order by address

Use This: It's working:
SELECT * FROM `sampletable` GROUP BY address, retailer
