Practice Activities Objectives • Define and explain the purpose of SET operators • Use a set operator to combine multiple queries into a single query • Control the order of rows returned using set operators
Vocabulary Identify the vocabulary word for each definition below.
operator that returns all rows from both tables and eliminates duplicates columns that were made up to match queries in another table that are not in both tables operator that returns all rows from both tables, including duplicates used to combine results into one single result from multiple SELECT statements operator that returns rows that are unique to each table
operator that returns rows common to both tables
Try It / Solve It 1. Name the different Set operators?
2. Write one query to return the employee_id, job_id, hire_date, and department_id of all employees and a second query listing employee_id, job_id, start_date, and department_id from the job_history table and combine the results as one single output. Make sure you suppress duplicates in the output.
3. Amend the previous statement to not suppress duplicates and examine the output. How many extra rows did you get returned and which were they? Sort the output by employee_id to make it easier to spot.
4. List all employees who have not changed jobs even once. (Such employees are not found in the job_history table)
5. List the employees that HAVE changed their jobs at least once.
