    This document contains practice problems and explanations for Oracle SQL joins, including equijoins, Cartesian products, non-equijoins, and outer joins. It provides 12 examples of join queries with explanations. The examples demonstrate selecting records from multiple tables where the join conditions match or are non-equal and use both implicit and explicit outer joins. The document also discusses using table aliases and correcting syntax issues.

    7.1 Oracle Equijoin and Cartesian Product


    Vocabulary: Cartesian Product, equijoin, proprietry join, alias, join conditions
    Try It / Solve It:
    1. SELECT*
    FROM d_play_list_items, d_track_listings;
    2. SELECT*
    FROM d_play_list_items plim, d_track_listings tlg
    WHERE plim.song_id = tlg.song_id;
    3. SELECT title, type_code, description, artist
    FROM d_songs, d_types
    WHERE code = type_code;
    4. SELECT title, type_code, description, artist
    FROM d_songs, d_types
    WHERE code = type_code and id IN (47,48);
    5. SELECT*
    FROM d_clients dcet, d_events devt, d_job_assignments djamt
    WHERE dcet.client_number = devt.client_number AND devt.id = djamt.event_id;
    6. SELECT song_id, title
    FROM d_track_listings dtltg, d_cds dcd
    WHERE dtltg.cd_number = dcd.cd_number;
    7. a. T; b. T; c. F; d. F; e. T; f. F; g. T
    8. Getting more comprehensive data, and in turn, more useful and correct information could
    be gleaned.

    7.2 Oracle Non-equijoins and Outer Joins


    Try It / Solve It:
    1. SELECT name, code
    FROM d_events, d_packages
    WHERE package_code = code;
    2. SELECT last_name, salary, grade_level||' ('||lowest_sal||' - '||highest_sal||')' AS job_grade
    FROM employees, job_grades
    WHERE salary BETWEEN lowest_sal AND highest_sal;
    3. Inequality
    4. WHERE a.ranking >= g.lowest_rank AND a.ranking <= g.highest_rank
    5. It’s all for conveniency, if the table name is too long then make shorter recognizable alias out
    of it, but if the the table name is short making an alias for it will amount for nothing but
    confusion.
    6. Nonequijoin
    7. SELECT id, first_name||' '||last_name AS customer, order_number, order_date, order_total,
    staff_id
    FROM f_customers, f_orders
    WHERE id = cust_id (+);
    8. SELECT last_name, epe.department_id, department_name
    FROM employees epe, departments dpt
    WHERE epe.department_id = dpt.department_id (+);
    9. SELECT last_name, epe.department_id, department_name
    FROM employees epe, departments dpt
    WHERE epe.department_id (+) = dpt.department_id
    ORDER BY last_name DESC;
    10. a. WHERE e.department_id(+) = d.department_id (+);
    Oracle proprietry outer join predicate (+) can only outer-joined one table at a time.
    Correction:
    WHERE e.department_id = d.department_id (+); (equals to ANSI’s LEFT OUTER JOIN)
    WHERE e.department_id(+) = d.department_id; (equals to ANSI’s RIGHT OUTER JOIN)
    b. SELECT e.employee id, e. last name, d. location id
    FROM employees, departments
    WHERE e.department_id = d.department_id(+);
    Both the table names in FROM clause don’t have an alias, so the table alias used in other
    clauses of the statement will yield errors.
    Correction:
    SELECT e.employee id, e. last name, d. location id
    FROM employees e, departments d
    WHERE e.department_id = d.department_id(+);
    11. SELECT dcd.title, dsng.id AS song_id
    FROM d_songs dsng, d_track_listings dtlg, d_cds dcd
    WHERE dsng.id = dtlg.song_id AND dcd.cd_number = dtlg.cd_number;
    Or
    SELECT dcd.title, dtlg.song_id AS song_id
    FROM d_cds dcd, d_track_listings dtlg
    WHERE dcd.cd_number = dtlg.cd_number;
    12. For me it would be between scientist and computer programmer.
