2. Dr. Chen, Oracle Database System (Oracle) 2 Chapter 9 Joining Data from Multiple Tables (p.284-296; p.312-330) Jason C. H. Chen, Ph.D. Professor of MIS School of Business Gonzaga University Spokane, WA 99258 USA chen@jepson.gonzaga.edu

3. Dr. Chen, Oracle Database System (Oracle) 3 Objectives Identify a Cartesian join Create an equality join using the WHERE clause Create an equality join using the JOIN keyword Create a non-equality join using the WHERE clause Create a non-equality join using the JOIN…ON approach

4. Dr. Chen, Oracle Database System (Oracle) 4 Objectives (continued) Create a self-join using the WHERE clause Create a self-join using the JOIN keyword Distinguish an inner join from an outer join Create an outer join using the WHERE clause Create an outer join using the OUTER keyword Use set operators to combine the results of multiple queries

5. Dr. Chen, Oracle Database System (Oracle) 5 Creating additional Tables for chapter 9 Run the following command for creating additional tables: SQL>start c:\oradata\chapter9\JLDB_Build_9.sql The following new four tables will be added to your database (see next slide for details): –Warehouses, –Publisher2, Publisher3 and –Employees

7. Dr. Chen, Oracle Database System (Oracle) 7 Purpose of Joins Joins are used to link tables and reconstruct data in a relational database Joins can be created through: –Conditions in a WHERE clause –Use of JOIN keywords in FROM clause

8. Dr. Chen, Oracle Database System (Oracle) 8 How many records will be in the Cartesian Join? Figure 9-1Results of a Cartesian Product

9. Dr. Chen, Oracle Database System (Oracle) 9 Cartesian Joins Created by omitting joining condition in the WHERE clause or through CROSS JOIN keywords in the FROM clause Results in every possible row combination (m * n) They are useful when –performing certain statistical procedures for data analysis

10. Dr. Chen, Oracle Database System (Oracle) 10 Cartesian Join Example: Omitted Condition Figure 9-3 Producing an unintentional Cartesian join Q: Why unintentional Cartesian join is produced? A: Because Oracle didn’t know what data the two tables had in common. Q: How to solve the problem? A: Use of Equality Joins (or inner/simple/natu ral). -- chapter 9, Figure 9-3; p.288 SELECT title, name FROM books, publisher; (70 rows produced)

11. Dr. Chen, Oracle Database System (Oracle) 11 Cartesian Join Example: CROSS (Cartesian) JOIN Keywords Figure 9-4 Using the CROSS JOIN keywords -- chapter 9, Figure 9-2; p.287 SELECT isbn, title, location, ' ' Count FROM books, warehouses ORDER BY location, title; -- chapter 9, Figure 9-4; p.289 SELECT isbn, title, location, ' ' Count FROM books CROSS JOIN warehouses ORDER BY location, title; (42 rows produced) -- chapter 9, Figure 9-2b; p.287 SELECT count (location) FROM books, warehouses ORDER BY location, title;

12. Dr. Chen, Oracle Database System (Oracle) 12 Equality Joins Link rows through equivalent data that exists in both tables Created by: –Creating equivalency condition in the WHERE clause –Using NATURAL JOIN, JOIN…USING, or JOIN…ON keywords in the FROM clause

13. Dr. Chen, Oracle Database System (Oracle) 13 Joining Multiple Tables Join: combine data from multiple database tables using foreign key references SELECT field1, field2,... FROM table1, table2 WHERE table1.joinfield = table2.joinfield AND search_condition(s); If tables share field names, must prefix field in select with table name (table1.field1, table2.field1) Join condition: part of where clause indicating how tables are related (table1.foreign_key = table2.primary key) Search conditions can be added to join condition using AND operator

14. Dr. Chen, Oracle Database System (Oracle) 14 Inner Join (cont.) -- Exatra example SELECT s_id, s_last, s_first, student.f_id, f_last FROM student, faculty WHERE student.f_id = faculty.f_id; S_ID S_LAST S_FIRST F_ID F_LAST ------ -------- -------- ---- -------- 1Jones Tammy 1 Cox 2Perez Jorge 1 Cox 3Marsh John 1 Cox 4Smith Mike 2 Blanchard 5Johnson Lisa 4 Sheng 6Nguyen Ni 3 Williams 6 rows selected. Q: why “Brown” is not on the result? Q: How many rows will be produced if “C-Join” is used?

15. Dr. Chen, Oracle Database System (Oracle) 15 Natural Join – Inner Join It can be used when the tables have a single commonly named and defined column. -- Extra Example SELECT s_id, s_last, s_first, student.f_id, f_last FROM student, faculty WHERE student.f_id = faculty.f_id; -- Use NATURAL JOIN SELECT s_id, s_last, s_first, f_id, f_last FROM student NATURAL JOIN faculty; S_ID S_LAST S_FIRST F_ID F_LAST ------ -------- -------- ---- -------- 1Jones Tammy 1 Cox 2Perez Jorge 1 Cox 3Marsh John 1 Cox 4Smith Mike 2 Blanchard 5Johnson Lisa 4 Sheng 6Nguyen Ni 3 Williams 6 rows selected.

16. Dr. Chen, Oracle Database System (Oracle) 16 Equality Joins (Traditional Method): WHERE Clause Example Figure 9-6 An equality join

17. Dr. Chen, Oracle Database System (Oracle) 17 Qualifying Column Names Columns in both tables must be qualified Figure 9-7 A “column ambiguously defined” error Which table is “pubid” from? Is it from publisher or books? -- chapter 9, Figure 9-7(b); p.292 SELECT title, books.pubid, name FROM books, publisher WHERE books.pubid = publisher.pubid;

18. Dr. Chen, Oracle Database System (Oracle) 18 WHERE Clause Supports Join and Other Conditions Figure 9-8 Including search and join conditions in a WHERE clause -- Use aliases -- chapter 9, Figure 9-9; p.294 SELECT b.title, b.pubid, p.name FROM books b, publisher p WHERE b.pubid = p.pubid AND (b.cost < 15 OR p.pubid = 1) ORDER BY title;

19. Dr. Chen, Oracle Database System (Oracle) 19 Using a Query Design Diagram Helpful for creating complicated queries Can use a formula to derive actual query from diagram Customers customer# (j) lastname (d) firstname (d) Orders order# (j) customer# (j) Orderitems order# (j) isbn (j) Query: Display customers’ lastname, firstname and books’ title they purchased Books isbn (j) title (d) j: join s: search d: display

20. Dr. Chen, Oracle Database System (Oracle) 20 Query: Display customers’ lastname, firstname and books’ title they purchased j: join s: search d: display Customers customer# (j) lastname (d) firstname (d) Orders order# (j) customer# (j) Orderitems order# (j) isbn (j) Books isbn (j) title (d) You can derive your query from the diagram by following these steps: 1. Place the display fields in the SELECT clause 2. List all of the tables in the FROM clause 3. Include the links in join conditions in the WHERE clause 4. Include all of the search fields in the WHERE clause (if needed) Figure: Join query design diagram

21. Dr. Chen, Oracle Database System (Oracle) 21 Query: Display customers’ lastname, firstname and books’ title they purchased j: join s: search d: display Customers customer# (j) lastname (d) firstname (d) Orders order# (j) customer# (j) Orderitems order# (j) isbn (j) Books isbn (j) title (d) Figure: Join query design diagram -- chapter 9, Figure 9-10; p.295 SELECT c.lastname, c.firstname, b.title FROM customers c, orders o, orderitems oi, books b WHERE c.customer# = o.customer# AND o.order# = oi.order# AND oi.isbn = b.isbn ORDER BY lastname, firstname;

22. Dr. Chen, Oracle Database System (Oracle) 22 Joining More Than Two Tables Figure 9-10 Joining four tables Joining four tables requires three join conditions Joining N tables requires ___ join conditions

23. Dr. Chen, Oracle Database System (Oracle) 23 Query: Display customers’ lastname, firstname and books’ title and only in ‘COMPUTER’ category j: join s: search d: display Customers customer# (j) lastname (d) firstname (d) Orders order# (j) customer# (j) Orderitems order# (j) isbn (j) Books isbn (j) title (d) _______ Figure: Join query design diagram -- chapter 9, Figure 9-10; p.295 SELECT c.lastname, c.firstname, b.title FROM customers c, orders o, orderitems oi, books b WHERE c.customer# = o.customer# AND o.order# = oi.order# AND oi.isbn = b.isbn ORDER BY lastname, firstname; AND category = ‘COMPUTER’ category (s)

24. Dr. Chen, Oracle Database System (Oracle) 24 Equality Joins: NATURAL JOIN Figure 9-12 Using the NATURAL JOIN keywords

25. Dr. Chen, Oracle Database System (Oracle) 25 No Qualifiers with a NATURAL JOIN Figure 9-13 Column qualifier error with a NATURAL JOIN Natural Join keyword (e.g, pubid), we are not required to be specified when the two tables have it in common. Therefore most developers avoid using a NATURAL JOIN because it can cause unexpected results.

28. Dr. Chen, Oracle Database System (Oracle) 28 Query: list all author IDs with books in the ‘Children’ category Query: list all author IDs with books in the ‘Family Life’ category SELECT ba.authorid FROM books b JOIN bookauthor ba USING (isbn) WHERE category = 'FAMILY LIFE‘; SELECT ba.authorid FROM books b JOIN bookauthor ba USING (isbn) WHERE category = 'CHILDREN';

29. Dr. Chen, Oracle Database System (Oracle) 29 Query: list all author IDs with books in the ‘Family Life’ or ‘Children’ category -- chapter 9, Figure 9-28; p. 313(version 1) SELECT ba.authorid FROM books b JOIN bookauthor ba USING (isbn) WHERE category = ‘FAMILY LIFE’ Anything not appropriate in the output? OR category = ‘CHILDREN’; How to take care this type of problem in an easy way? -- chapter 9, Figure 9-28; p. 313(version 2) SELECT _______ (ba.authorid) FROM books b JOIN bookauthor ba USING (isbn) WHERE category = 'FAMILY LIFE' OR category = 'CHILDREN'; What else we can achieve the same goal (and other more complicated situation) ?

30. Dr. Chen, Oracle Database System (Oracle) 30 Using Set Operators to Combine Query Results Performs set operations on outputs of two unrelated queries They all require that both queries –have the same number of display fields in the SELECT statement, and that –each field in the first query has the same data type as the corresponding column in the second query.

31. Dr. Chen, Oracle Database System (Oracle) 31 AB SET THEORY

32. Dr. Chen, Oracle Database System (Oracle) 32 C SET THEORY =A-B =B-A =A INTERSECT B= All Regions =A UNION B (with C counted just once) A-B B-A A B C

33. Dr. Chen, Oracle Database System (Oracle) 33 C SET THEORY A MINUS B=D B MINUS A=E A INTERSECT B= A UNION B = D E A UNION ALL B = D+C+E+__ C C D+C+E A B

34. Dr. Chen, Oracle Database System (Oracle) 34 Oracle 11g/SQL Set Operator (Table 9-2) UNION (see Figure 9-28) –returns all rows from both queries, but ONLY displays duplicate rows once UNION ALL (see Figure 9-30) –returns all (duplicate) rows from both queries, and displays ALL duplicate rows INTERSECT (see Figure 9-34) –returns all matching rows that are returned by both queries MINUS (see Figure 9-35) –returns all rows returned by the first query minus the matching rows returned by the second query  Use to select data from multiple tables not connected with foreign key relationships  Used to combine the results of two or more SELECT statements

35. Dr. Chen, Oracle Database System (Oracle) 35 Query: list all author IDs with books in the ‘Family Life’ or ‘Children’ category SELECT ba.authorid FROM books b JOIN bookauthor ba USING (isbn) WHERE category = 'FAMILY LIFE‘ SELECT ba.authorid FROM books b JOIN bookauthor ba USING (isbn) WHERE category = 'CHILDREN'; UNION Figure 9-28 Producing an unduplicated combined list with the UNION set operator

49. Dr. Chen, Oracle Database System (Oracle) 49 Summary Data stored in multiple tables regarding a single entity can be linked together through the use of joins A Cartesian join between two tables returns every possible combination of rows from the tables; the resulting number of rows is always m * n An equality join is created when the data joining the records from two different tables are an exact match A non-equality join establishes a relationship based upon anything other than an equal condition Self-joins are used when a table must be joined to itself to retrieve needed data

50. Dr. Chen, Oracle Database System (Oracle) 50 Summary (continued) Inner joins are categorized as being equality, non- equality, or self-joins An outer join is created when records need to be included in the results without having corresponding records in the join tables –The record is matched with a NULL record so it will be included in the output Set operators such as UNION, UNION ALL, INTERSECT, and MINUS can be used to combine the results of multiple queries
