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.
