Objective: Write the SQL queries using Set Operations and Joins.

Theory & Concepts:

SQL JOINS are used to retrieve data from multiple tables. A SQL JOIN is performed
whenever two or more tables are joined in a SQL statement.

There are different types of SQL joins:

SQL INNER JOIN (or sometimes called simple join)

SQL CROSS JOIN
SQL NATURAL JOIN
SQL LEFT OUTER JOIN (or sometimes called LEFT JOIN)
SQL RIGHT OUTER JOIN (or sometimes called RIGHT JOIN)
SQL FULL OUTER JOIN (or sometimes called FULL JOIN)

SQL INNER JOIN (SIMPLE JOIN)

SQL INNER JOINS return all rows from multiple tables where the join condition is met.

Syntax
The syntax for the SQL INNER JOIN is:

SELECT columns
FROM table1
INNER JOIN table2
ON table1.column = table2.column;

If the tables COUNTRIES and CITIES have two common columns named
POPULATION and COUNTRY_ISO_CODE, JOIN applies equality condition on ISO
codes with cities having less POPULATION attributes:

SELECT * FROM
COUNTRIES
INNER JOIN CITIES
On COUNTRIES.COUNTRY_ISO_CODE = CITIES.COUNTRY_ISO_CODE
And COUNTRIES.POPULATION > CITIES.POPULATION;

SQL LEFT OUTER JOIN

Another type of join is called a LEFT OUTER JOIN. This type of join returns all rows
from the LEFT-hand table specified in the ON condition and only those rows from the
other table where the joined fields are equal (join condition is met).

Syntax

The syntax for the SQL LEFT OUTER JOIN is:

SELECT columns
FROM table1
LEFT [OUTER] JOIN table2
ON table1.column = table2.column;

In some databases, the LEFT OUTER JOIN keywords are replaced with LEFT JOIN.
SELECT * FROM
COUNTRIES
LEFT JOIN CITIES
On COUNTRIES.COUNTRY_ISO_CODE=CITIES. COUNTRY_ISO_CODE
And COUNTRIES.POPULATION >CITIES.POPULATION;

SQL RIGHT OUTER JOIN

Another type of join is called a SQL RIGHT OUTER JOIN. This type of join returns all
rows from the RIGHT-hand table specified in the ON condition and only those rows
from the other table where the joined fields are equal (join condition is met).
Syntax
The syntax for the SQL RIGHT OUTER JOIN is:
SELECT columns
FROM table1
RIGHT [OUTER] JOIN table2
ON table1.column = table2.column;

In some databases, the RIGHT OUTER JOIN keywords are replaced with RIGHT JOIN.

SELECT * FROM
COUNTRIES
RIGHT JOIN CITIES
On COUNTRIES.COUNTRY_ISO_CODE=CITIES. COUNTRY_ISO_CODE
And COUNTRIES.POPULATION >CITIES.POPULATION;

SQL FULL OUTER JOIN

Another type of join is called a SQL FULL OUTER JOIN. This type of join returns all
rows from the LEFT-hand table and RIGHT-hand table with nulls in place where the
join condition is not met.

Syntax
The syntax for the SQL FULL OUTER JOIN is:
SELECT columns
FROM table1
FULL [OUTER] JOIN table2
ON table1.column = table2.column;

In some databases, the FULL OUTER JOIN keywords are replaced with FULL JOIN.

SELECT * FROM
COUNTRIES
FULL JOIN CITIES
On COUNTRIES.COUNTRY_ISO_CODE=CITIES. COUNTRY_ISO_CODE
And COUNTRIES.POPULATION >CITIES.POPULATION;

SQL NATURAL JOIN

A NATURAL JOIN is a JOIN operation that creates an implicit join clause for you
based on the common columns in the two tables being joined. Common columns are
columns that have the same name in both tables.

If the SELECT statement in which the NATURAL JOIN operation appears has an
asterisk (*) in the select list, the asterisk will be expanded to the following list of
columns (in this order):

 All the common columns

 Every column in the first (left) table that is not a common column
  Every column in the second (right) table that is not a common column

An asterisk qualified by a table name (for example, COUNTRIES.*) will be expanded to

every column of that table that is not a common column.

Syntax
Select *
FROM table1
NATURAL JOIN table2;

Examples

If the tables COUNTRIES and CITIES have two common columns named COUNTRY
and COUNTRY_ISO_CODE, NATURAL JOIN applies equality condition on both
attributes:

SELECT * FROM COUNTRIES NATURAL JOIN CITIES;

CROSS JOIN operation

A CROSS JOIN is a JOIN operation that produces the Cartesian product of two tables.
Unlike other JOIN operators, it does not let you specify a join clause. You may,
however, specify a WHERE clause in the SELECT statement.

Examples

The following SELECT statements are equivalent:

SELECT * FROM CITIES CROSS JOIN SELECT * FROM CITIES, FLIGHTS

FLIGHTS

Write SQL Queries for the following:

Q1. Produce a combine table in which each student is combine with every other
application.
Q2. Give Student ID, name, GPA and name of college and major each student applied to.
Q3. Find detail of applications who applied to California State.
Q4. IDs, name, GPA of students and name of college with GPA > 3.7 applying to
Stanford
Q5. Find detail of Student who apply to CS major and their application are rejected
Q6. Find detail of student and application who applied to colleges at New York
Q7. Find detail of student who have not applied to any of college
Q8. Find college where no student have applied
Q9. Find sID who have only one application
Q10. Find name and GPA of applicants who apply to any college whose enrollment is not
more than 25000.
Q11. Find pair of students (sID) having same GPA. (each pair should occur just once in
result)
Q12. Find various majors student applied in at college in state MA.
 Exercise

For each of the following you need to write three queries

i.e. three version first using :CROSS Join
Second using: Natural Join
And third using: Inner Join

You are also advised to observe output of all three

Q13. find student and major he / she applied to.

Q14. Find detail of student who came from high school have size less than 20000 and
applied to CS at Stanford.
Q15. Provide complete detail of each student where they applied what major they applied
to what was the decision and complete detail of college they applied.
Q16. Names and GPAs of students with HS>1000 who applied to CS and were rejected
Q17. Names and GPAs of students with HS>1000 who applied to CS at college with
enr>20,000 and were rejected
