Study Notes

Relational Set Operators

  • Relational set operators require relations to be union-compatible, meaning named attributes must be the same and have identical data types.
  • There are four types of relational set operators: UNION, UNION ALL, INTERSECT, and MINUS.

UNION

  • Combines rows from two or more queries without including duplicate rows.
  • Can be used to unite more than two queries.
  • Eliminates duplicate rows from the result set.

UNION ALL

  • Produces a relation that retains duplicate rows.
  • Can be used to unite more than two queries.

INTERSECT

  • Combines rows from two queries, returning only the rows that appear in both sets.
  • Syntax: query INTERSECT query.
  • Can be replaced with IN and NOT IN subqueries.

MINUS

  • Combines rows from two queries, returning only the rows that appear in the first set but not in the second.
  • Syntax: query MINUS query.

SQL Join Operators

  • Join operation merges rows from two tables and returns rows based on common values or conditions.
  • Types of joins: Natural join, Inner join, Outer join, and Cross join.

Cross Join

  • Performs the relational product of two tables, also known as the Cartesian product.
  • Syntax: SELECT column-list FROM table1 CROSS JOIN table2.

MySQL Natural Join

  • Combines rows of two or more tables based on a common column between them.
