I have the below query
Select sum (ABC) as ecr from table1
Where a<>'y' or b is null and c<>'g'
Union all
Select sum(bcd) as ech from table2
Note: I am getting results under one column but I want to be displayed under two columns
Please try this.
SELECT sum (A.ABC) as ecr,SUM(B.bcd) as ech
FROM table1 AS A
LEFT JOIN table2 AS B
ON B.Id = A.Id
Where A.a<>'y' or A.b is null and A.c<>'g'
I think you just need a cross join
Select sum(ABC) as ecr,
sum(bcd) as ech
from table1 t1
cross join table2
Where t1.a <> 'y'
or t1.b is null
and t1.c <> 'g'
In MS Access, you use , for CROSS JOIN:
select t1.ecr, t2.ech
from (select sum(ABC) as ecr
from table1
where a <> 'y' or b is null and c <> 'g'
) t1,
(select sum(bcd) as ech
from table2
) t2;
In any other database, you would use CROSS JOIN.
I want the use 2 SELECT statements and an INNER JOIN from different queries BUT also want to show the two different results, from different tables in the same query. Like this..
SELECT column1 FROM earth e1 that is null
+
SELECT chair5 FROM space s1 that is not null
INNER JOIN space s1 ON e1.car = s1.truck
ORDER BY e1.column,s1.chair5
How do I show the results of two different queries while using an INNER JOIN?
Assume the table T1 contains values 'A','B','C' and table T2 contains values 'A','B','D'
You may query
select 'T1' as source, col from t1
union all
select 'T2' as source, col from t2
union all
select 'join T1,T2' as source, t1.col from t1 inner join t2
on t1.col= t2.col
order by 1,2
;
getting
SOURCE COL
---------- -----
T1 A
T1 B
T1 C
T2 A
T2 B
T2 D
join T1,T2 A
join T1,T2 B
The first column identifies the source: single query or a join
Alternatively, which I'll prefer you may get the same information (more compressed) using FULL OUTER JOIN
with fj as (
select t1.col t1_col, t2.col t2_col
from t1 full outer join t2
on t1.col= t2.col
)
select
case when t1_col is not null and t2_col is not null then 'both'
when t1_col is not null then 'T1 only'
when t2_col is not null then 'T2 only' end as source,
nvl(t1_col, t2_col) col
from fj
order by 1,2
.
SOURCE COL
------- ----------
T1 only C
T2 only D
both A
both B
I have two table say T1 and T2 and one column C is common to both. I need an SQL query in which if C is null in T1 it will select from other table.
I tried writing SELECT statement in THEN clause but not running. Don't know is there any IF ELSE clause in SQL.
Select C, case when c = null Then Select c from T2
from T1
Even better, most RDBMSs support COALESCE, which lets you check multiple values and return the first non-null value.
SELECT COALESCE(T1.C, T2.C) AS C
FROM T1
LEFT OUTER JOIN T2 ON T1.[Primary Key] = T2.[Primary Key]
Is this in TransactSQL?
I like the first answer, however you could also do it this way...
select case t1.C
when null then t2.C
else t1.C
end as [testC]
from t1
inner join t2
on t1.PKID = t2.PKID
What you seem to need is a union
select c from t1
where c is not null
union
select c from t2
where c is not null
Now you get all the columns C from T1and T2 in one result set but only if not null.
Well of course if this has simplified your problem too much you need to work with a join
select coalesce(t1.c,t2.c) as c
from t1
left join t2 on (t2.id = t1.foreign_id)
This assumed that T2.ID is the primary key and related to T1 with T1.FOREIGN_ID
It is important that you do a left join because otherwise you only get T1 rows when the row also exists in T2.
I want to do a full outer join in MySQL. Is this possible? Is a full outer join supported by MySQL?
You don't have full joins in MySQL, but you can sure emulate them.
For a code sample transcribed from this Stack Overflow question you have:
With two tables t1, t2:
SELECT * FROM t1
LEFT JOIN t2 ON t1.id = t2.id
UNION
SELECT * FROM t1
RIGHT JOIN t2 ON t1.id = t2.id
The query above works for special cases where a full outer join operation would not produce any duplicate rows. The query above depends on the UNION set operator to remove duplicate rows introduced by the query pattern. We can avoid introducing duplicate rows by using an anti-join pattern for the second query, and then use a UNION ALL set operator to combine the two sets. In the more general case, where a full outer join would return duplicate rows, we can do this:
SELECT * FROM t1
LEFT JOIN t2 ON t1.id = t2.id
UNION ALL
SELECT * FROM t1
RIGHT JOIN t2 ON t1.id = t2.id
WHERE t1.id IS NULL
The answer that Pablo Santa Cruz gave is correct; however, in case anybody stumbled on this page and wants more clarification, here is a detailed breakdown.
Example Tables
Suppose we have the following tables:
-- t1
id name
1 Tim
2 Marta
-- t2
id name
1 Tim
3 Katarina
Inner Joins
An inner join, like this:
SELECT *
FROM `t1`
INNER JOIN `t2` ON `t1`.`id` = `t2`.`id`;
Would get us only records that appear in both tables, like this:
1 Tim 1 Tim
Inner joins don't have a direction (like left or right) because they are explicitly bidirectional - we require a match on both sides.
Outer Joins
Outer joins, on the other hand, are for finding records that may not have a match in the other table. As such, you have to specify which side of the join is allowed to have a missing record.
LEFT JOIN and RIGHT JOIN are shorthand for LEFT OUTER JOIN and RIGHT OUTER JOIN; I will use their full names below to reinforce the concept of outer joins vs inner joins.
Left Outer Join
A left outer join, like this:
SELECT *
FROM `t1`
LEFT OUTER JOIN `t2` ON `t1`.`id` = `t2`.`id`;
...would get us all the records from the left table regardless of whether or not they have a match in the right table, like this:
1 Tim 1 Tim
2 Marta NULL NULL
Right Outer Join
A right outer join, like this:
SELECT *
FROM `t1`
RIGHT OUTER JOIN `t2` ON `t1`.`id` = `t2`.`id`;
...would get us all the records from the right table regardless of whether or not they have a match in the left table, like this:
1 Tim 1 Tim
NULL NULL 3 Katarina
Full Outer Join
A full outer join would give us all records from both tables, whether or not they have a match in the other table, with NULLs on both sides where there is no match. The result would look like this:
1 Tim 1 Tim
2 Marta NULL NULL
NULL NULL 3 Katarina
However, as Pablo Santa Cruz pointed out, MySQL doesn't support this. We can emulate it by doing a UNION of a left join and a right join, like this:
SELECT *
FROM `t1`
LEFT OUTER JOIN `t2` ON `t1`.`id` = `t2`.`id`
UNION
SELECT *
FROM `t1`
RIGHT OUTER JOIN `t2` ON `t1`.`id` = `t2`.`id`;
You can think of a UNION as meaning "run both of these queries, then stack the results on top of each other"; some of the rows will come from the first query and some from the second.
It should be noted that a UNION in MySQL will eliminate exact duplicates: Tim would appear in both of the queries here, but the result of the UNION only lists him once. My database guru colleague feels that this behavior should not be relied upon. So to be more explicit about it, we could add a WHERE clause to the second query:
SELECT *
FROM `t1`
LEFT OUTER JOIN `t2` ON `t1`.`id` = `t2`.`id`
UNION
SELECT *
FROM `t1`
RIGHT OUTER JOIN `t2` ON `t1`.`id` = `t2`.`id`
WHERE `t1`.`id` IS NULL;
On the other hand, if you wanted to see duplicates for some reason, you could use UNION ALL.
Using a union query will remove duplicates, and this is different than the behavior of full outer join that never removes any duplicates:
[Table: t1] [Table: t2]
value value
----------- -------
1 1
2 2
4 2
4 5
This is the expected result of a full outer join:
value | value
------+-------
1 | 1
2 | 2
2 | 2
Null | 5
4 | Null
4 | Null
This is the result of using left and right join with union:
value | value
------+-------
Null | 5
1 | 1
2 | 2
4 | Null
SQL Fiddle
My suggested query is:
select
t1.value, t2.value
from t1
left outer join t2
on t1.value = t2.value
union all -- Using `union all` instead of `union`
select
t1.value, t2.value
from t2
left outer join t1
on t1.value = t2.value
where
t1.value IS NULL
The result of the above query that is as the same as the expected result:
value | value
------+-------
1 | 1
2 | 2
2 | 2
4 | NULL
4 | NULL
NULL | 5

#Steve Chambers: [From comments, with many thanks!]
Note: This may be the best solution, both for efficiency and for generating the same results as a FULL OUTER JOIN. This blog post also explains it well - to quote from Method 2: "This handles duplicate rows correctly and doesn’t include anything it shouldn’t. It’s necessary to use UNION ALL instead of plain UNION, which would eliminate the duplicates I want to keep. This may be significantly more efficient on large result sets, since there’s no need to sort and remove duplicates."
I decided to add another solution that comes from full outer join visualization and math. It is not better than the above, but it is more readable:
Full outer join means (t1 ∪ t2): all in t1 or in t2
(t1 ∪ t2) = (t1 ∩ t2) + t1_only + t2_only: all in both t1 and t2 plus all in t1 that aren't in t2 and plus all in t2 that aren't in t1:
-- (t1 ∩ t2): all in both t1 and t2
select t1.value, t2.value
from t1 join t2 on t1.value = t2.value
union all -- And plus
-- all in t1 that not exists in t2
select t1.value, null
from t1
where not exists( select 1 from t2 where t2.value = t1.value)
union all -- and plus
-- all in t2 that not exists in t1
select null, t2.value
from t2
where not exists( select 1 from t1 where t2.value = t1.value)
SQL Fiddle
None of the previous answers are actually correct, because they do not follow the semantics when there are duplicated values.
For a query such as (from this duplicate):
SELECT * FROM t1 FULL OUTER JOIN t2 ON t1.Name = t2.Name;
The correct equivalent is:
SELECT t1.*, t2.*
FROM (SELECT name FROM t1 UNION -- This is intentionally UNION to remove duplicates
SELECT name FROM t2
) n LEFT JOIN
t1
ON t1.name = n.name LEFT JOIN
t2
ON t2.name = n.name;
If you need this to work with NULL values (which may also be necessary), then use the NULL-safe comparison operator, <=> rather than =.
MySQL does not have FULL-OUTER-JOIN syntax. You have to emulate it by doing both LEFT JOIN and RIGHT JOIN as follows:
SELECT * FROM t1
LEFT JOIN t2 ON t1.id = t2.id
UNION
SELECT * FROM t1
RIGHT JOIN t2 ON t1.id = t2.id
But MySQL also does not have a RIGHT JOIN syntax. According to MySQL's outer join simplification, the right join is converted to the equivalent left join by switching the t1 and t2 in the FROM and ON clause in the query. Thus, the MySQL query optimizer translates the original query into the following -
SELECT * FROM t1
LEFT JOIN t2 ON t1.id = t2.id
UNION
SELECT * FROM t2
LEFT JOIN t1 ON t2.id = t1.id
Now, there is no harm in writing the original query as is, but say if you have predicates like the WHERE clause, which is a before-join predicate or an AND predicate on the ON clause, which is a during-join predicate, then you might want to take a look at the devil; which is in details.
The MySQL query optimizer routinely checks the predicates if they are null-rejected.
Now, if you have done the RIGHT JOIN, but with WHERE predicate on the column from t1, then you might be at a risk of running into a null-rejected scenario.
For example, the query
SELECT * FROM t1
LEFT JOIN t2 ON t1.id = t2.id
WHERE t1.col1 = 'someValue'
UNION
SELECT * FROM t1
RIGHT JOIN t2 ON t1.id = t2.id
WHERE t1.col1 = 'someValue'
gets translated to the following by the query optimizer:
SELECT * FROM t1
LEFT JOIN t2 ON t1.id = t2.id
WHERE t1.col1 = 'someValue'
UNION
SELECT * FROM t2
LEFT JOIN t1 ON t2.id = t1.id
WHERE t1.col1 = 'someValue'
So the order of tables has changed, but the predicate is still applied to t1, but t1 is now in the 'ON' clause. If t1.col1 is defined as NOT NULL
column, then this query will be null-rejected.
Any outer-join (left, right, full) that is null-rejected is converted to an inner-join by MySQL.
Thus the results you might be expecting might be completely different from what the MySQL is returning. You might think its a bug with MySQL's RIGHT JOIN, but that’s not right. Its just how the MySQL query optimizer works. So the developer in charge has to pay attention to these nuances when he/she is constructing the query.
I modified shA.t's query for more clarity:
-- t1 left join t2
SELECT t1.value, t2.value
FROM t1 LEFT JOIN t2 ON t1.value = t2.value
UNION ALL -- include duplicates
-- t1 right exclude join t2 (records found only in t2)
SELECT t1.value, t2.value
FROM t1 RIGHT JOIN t2 ON t1.value = t2.value
WHERE t1.value IS NULL
In SQLite you should do this:
SELECT *
FROM leftTable lt
LEFT JOIN rightTable rt ON lt.id = rt.lrid
UNION
SELECT lt.*, rl.* -- To match column set
FROM rightTable rt
LEFT JOIN leftTable lt ON lt.id = rt.lrid
You can do the following:
(SELECT
*
FROM
table1 t1
LEFT JOIN
table2 t2 ON t1.id = t2.id
WHERE
t2.id IS NULL)
UNION ALL
(SELECT
*
FROM
table1 t1
RIGHT JOIN
table2 t2 ON t1.id = t2.id
WHERE
t1.id IS NULL);
You can just convert a full outer join, e.g.
SELECT fields
FROM firsttable
FULL OUTER JOIN secondtable ON joincondition
into:
SELECT fields
FROM firsttable
LEFT JOIN secondtable ON joincondition
UNION ALL
SELECT fields (replacing any fields from firsttable with NULL)
FROM secondtable
WHERE NOT EXISTS (SELECT 1 FROM firsttable WHERE joincondition)
Or if you have at least one column, say foo, in firsttable that is NOT NULL, you can do:
SELECT fields
FROM firsttable
LEFT JOIN secondtable ON joincondition
UNION ALL
SELECT fields
FROM firsttable
RIGHT JOIN secondtable ON joincondition
WHERE firsttable.foo IS NULL
SELECT
a.name,
b.title
FROM
author AS a
LEFT JOIN
book AS b
ON a.id = b.author_id
UNION
SELECT
a.name,
b.title
FROM
author AS a
RIGHT JOIN
book AS b
ON a.id = b.author_id
I fix the response, and works include all rows (based on the response of Pavle Lekic):
(
SELECT a.* FROM tablea a
LEFT JOIN tableb b ON a.`key` = b.key
WHERE b.`key` is null
)
UNION ALL
(
SELECT a.* FROM tablea a
LEFT JOIN tableb b ON a.`key` = b.key
where a.`key` = b.`key`
)
UNION ALL
(
SELECT b.* FROM tablea a
right JOIN tableb b ON b.`key` = a.key
WHERE a.`key` is null
);
Use:
SELECT * FROM t1 FULL OUTER JOIN t2 ON t1.id = t2.id;
It can be recreated as follows:
SELECT t1.*, t2.*
FROM (SELECT * FROM t1 UNION SELECT name FROM t2) tmp
LEFT JOIN t1 ON t1.id = tmp.id
LEFT JOIN t2 ON t2.id = tmp.id;
Using a UNION or UNION ALL answer does not cover the edge case where the base tables have duplicated entries.
Explanation:
There is an edge case that a UNION or UNION ALL cannot cover. We cannot test this on MySQL as it doesn't support full outer joins, but we can illustrate this on a database that does support it:
WITH cte_t1 AS
(
SELECT 1 AS id1
UNION ALL SELECT 2
UNION ALL SELECT 5
UNION ALL SELECT 6
UNION ALL SELECT 6
),
cte_t2 AS
(
SELECT 3 AS id2
UNION ALL SELECT 4
UNION ALL SELECT 5
UNION ALL SELECT 6
UNION ALL SELECT 6
)
SELECT * FROM cte_t1 t1 FULL OUTER JOIN cte_t2 t2 ON t1.id1 = t2.id2;
This gives us this answer:
id1 id2
1 NULL
2 NULL
NULL 3
NULL 4
5 5
6 6
6 6
6 6
6 6
The UNION solution:
SELECT * FROM cte_t1 t1 LEFT OUTER JOIN cte_t2 t2 ON t1.id1 = t2.id2
UNION
SELECT * FROM cte_t1 t1 RIGHT OUTER JOIN cte_t2 t2 ON t1.id1 = t2.id2
Gives an incorrect answer:
id1 id2
NULL 3
NULL 4
1 NULL
2 NULL
5 5
6 6
The UNION ALL solution:
SELECT * FROM cte_t1 t1 LEFT OUTER join cte_t2 t2 ON t1.id1 = t2.id2
UNION ALL
SELECT * FROM cte_t1 t1 RIGHT OUTER JOIN cte_t2 t2 ON t1.id1 = t2.id2
Is also incorrect.
id1 id2
1 NULL
2 NULL
5 5
6 6
6 6
6 6
6 6
NULL 3
NULL 4
5 5
6 6
6 6
6 6
6 6
Whereas this query:
SELECT t1.*, t2.*
FROM (SELECT * FROM t1 UNION SELECT name FROM t2) tmp
LEFT JOIN t1 ON t1.id = tmp.id
LEFT JOIN t2 ON t2.id = tmp.id;
Gives the following:
id1 id2
1 NULL
2 NULL
NULL 3
NULL 4
5 5
6 6
6 6
6 6
6 6
The order is different, but otherwise matches the correct answer.
Use a cross join solution:
SELECT t1.*, t2.*
FROM table1 t1
INNER JOIN table2 t2
ON 1=1;
It is also possible, but you have to mention the same field names in select.
SELECT t1.name, t2.name FROM t1
LEFT JOIN t2 ON t1.id = t2.id
UNION
SELECT t1.name, t2.name FROM t2
LEFT JOIN t1 ON t1.id = t2.id
The SQL standard says full join on is inner join on rows union all unmatched left table rows extended by nulls union all right table rows extended by nulls. Ie inner join on rows union all rows in left join on but not inner join on union all rows in right join on but not inner join on.
Ie left join on rows union all right join on rows not in inner join on. Or if you know your inner join on result can't have null in a particular right table column then "right join on rows not in inner join on" are rows in right join on with the on condition extended by and that column is null.
Ie similarly right join on union all appropriate left join on rows.
From What is the difference between “INNER JOIN” and “OUTER JOIN”?:
(SQL Standard 2006 SQL/Foundation 7.7 Syntax Rules 1, General Rules 1 b, 3 c & d, 5 b.)
I have the following query:
select A,
B
from table1
where A in (select c
from table 2
)
But, now I need to change this query and use exists instead of in, and it should give the same results.
My tables look like the following:
table1 table2
A B c
------ -----
1 x 1
2 y 3
3 z 4
4 w 7
5 a
1 b
How do I use the exists function?
You need to match the two columns that will be used in the exists together:
select
t1.a, t1.b
from
table1 t1
where
exists (select 1 from table2 t2 where t2.c = t1.a)
The reason why you have to do that, is because exists performs a semi-join on the table, and therefore, needs to have a join condition.
Changing the expression:
FROM Table1 WHERE a IN( SELECT c FROM Table2 )
To an EXISTS is a simple matter of:
Add a WHERE on the end of the internal SELECT
FROM Table1 WHERE a IN( SELECT c FROM Table2 WHERE )
Move the external match column (a) into the internal SELECT's WHERE clause
FROM Table1 WHERE IN( SELECT c FROM Table2 WHERE a )
Move the internal match column (c) to the WHERE clause, leaving a column placeholder (a constant or *):
FROM Table1 WHERE IN( SELECT * FROM Table2 WHERE a = c )
Change the IN to EXISTS:
FROM Table1 WHERE EXISTS( SELECT * FROM Table2 WHERE a = c )
To be safe add the table name onto the external column:
FROM Table1 WHERE EXISTS( SELECT * FROM Table2 WHERE Table1.a = c )
This will do it via direct inner join.
select
t1.a, t1.b
from
table1 as t1
inner join table2 as t2 on t1.a=t2.c
