Joins List all guests who have at least one booking. (We keep all guests even they don’t have any bookings.) -- Which table(s)? -- Guest (Guest_no, Guest_Name, Address) -- PK: Guest_no -- Booking (HoteL_no, Guest_no, ...) -- PK: Hotel_no, Guest_No, Date_From -- FK: Guest_no references Guest Select Guest.* From Guest, Booking Where Guest.Guest_no = Booking.Guest_no;
Joins: New Style Select Guest.* From Guest, Booking Where Guest.Guest_no = Booking.Guest_no; From Guest Join Booking on Guest.Guest_no = Booking.Guest_no; We use the new style! -- Run in Oracle -- Duplicate records
Joins List all guests who have at least one booking. Select Guest.* From Guest Join Booking on Guest.Guest_no = Booking.Guest_no; Why duplicate records? For every g in Guest For every b in Booking If g.Guest_no = b.Guest_no Then Select g.*
Always remove duplicate records! Joins Always remove duplicate records! Select Distinct Guest.* From Guest Join Booking on Guest.Guest_no = Booking.Guest_no; Select Unique Guest.*

Joins What if no common attribute is specified? Select G.* From Guest G, Booking B; -- Where G.Guest_no = B.Guest_no; -- Cartesian product! Select Distinct G.* From Guest G Join Booking B; -- on G.Guest_no = B.Guest_no; ERROR at line 3: ORA-00905: missing keyword
