...Join in SQL SQL Join is used to fetch data from two or more tables, which is joined to appear as single set of data. SQL Join is used for combining column from two or more tables by using values common to both tables. JoinKeyword is used in SQL queries for joining two or more tables. Minimum required condition for joining table, is(n-1) where n, is number of tables. A table can also join to itself known as, Self Join. Types of Join The following are the types of JOIN that we can use in SQL. * Inner * Outer * Left * Right Cross JOIN or Cartesian Product This type of JOIN returns the cartesian product of rows from the tables in Join. It will return a table which consists of records which combines each row from the first table with each row of the second table. Cross JOIN Syntax is, SELECT column-name-list from table-name1 CROSS JOIN table-name2; Example of Cross JOIN The class table, ID | NAME | 1 | abhi | 2 | adam | 4 | alex | The class_info table, ID | Address | 1 | DELHI | 2 | MUMBAI | 3 | CHENNAI | Cross JOIN query will be, SELECT * from class, cross JOIN class_info; The result table will look like, ID | NAME | ID | Address | 1 | abhi | 1 | DELHI | 2 | adam | 1 | DELHI | 4 | alex | 1 | DELHI | 1 | abhi | 2 | MUMBAI | 2 | adam | 2 | MUMBAI | 4 | alex | 2 | MUMBAI | 1 | abhi | 3 | CHENNAI | ...

...and the number of sections that they have taught. Make sure to show the number of sections as 0 for instructors who have not taught any section. Your query should use an outer join, and should not use scalar subqueries. By using the university schema provided by db-book.com the following queries were done on the university database. The first query uses an outer join which works similar to the join operation but it keeps the rows that don’t match between the two tables that would be lost in a join operation. There are three forms of outer join: a) Left outer join displays the results from the left table even if the condition does not find any matching record in the right table. b) Right outer join will displays the results from the right table regardless if there is matching data in the left table. c) Full outer join will retain all rows from both tables, regardless if the data matches or not. The group by clause when used in a select statement collects data from multiple records and groups the results into one or more columns. The below is the query using left outer join operation: select ID, name, count(sec_id) as Number_of_sections from instructor natural left outer join teaches group by ID, name; The next query was written by using a scalar subquery without using an outer join operation. A scalar subquery is where the output of a subquery returns only one row which contains one single column/attribute. By using the select statement with count (*)...

...In SQL, a join is used to compare and combine rows from two or more table. Inner Join: An inner join returns records only those records are common in both tables. Outer Join An outer join returns a set of records (or rows) that include what an inner join would return but also includes other rows for which no corresponding match is found in the other table. There are three types of outer joins: * Left Outer Join (or Left Join) * Right Outer Join (or Right Join) * Full Outer Join (or Full Join) Each of these outer joins refers to the part of the data that is being compared, combined, and returned. Sometimes nulls will be produced in this process as some data is shared while other data is not. Left Outer Join A left outer join will return all the data in Table 1 and all the shared data (so, the inner part of the Venn diagram example), but only corresponding data from Table 2, which is the right join. Right Outer Join A right outer join returns Table 2's data and all the shared data, but only corresponding data from Table 1, which is the left join. Full Outer Join A full outer join, or full join, which is not supported by the popular MySQL database management system, combines and returns all data from two or more tables, regardless of whether there is shared information. Think of a full join as simply duplicating all the specified information, but in one table, rather than multiple tables. Where matching data is missing, nulls will be produced. These...

...Written Assignment 3 Explain the SQL commands Union, Intersect, and Minus with concepts like union-compatibility, and syntax alternatives such as IN/NOT IN and various JOIN options Database Management CIS-311 There are many different SQL commands. This assignment will focus on UNION, INTERSECT, and MINUS. UNION combines unique rows returned by two SELECT statements. UNION ALL functions in the same way as UNION except that it also returns duplicates. INTERSECT gives you rows that are found in both queries by eliminating rows that are only found in one or the other. An INTERSECT is simply an inner join where we compare the tuples of one table with those of the other, and select those that appear in both while weeding out duplicates. MINUS returns the rows that are in the first query but not the second by removing the rows that are only found in the second query. There are three primary SQL commands involved when implementing a Union, Intersection and difference relational operators. As you may know, SQL data manipulation commands are set-oriented which are involved in operating over entire sets of rows and columns in tables at once. The UNION, INTERSECT, and MINUS statements make sure these operations occur. Union, Intersect and Minus only work properly if relations are Union-Compatible, which is based on the names of the relation attributes that must be the same and their data types must be alike. Being compatible does not mean the data types have to be exactly the...

...It starts in seventeen fifty-four with the publishing of colonial author and inventor, Benjamin Franklin’s “Join or Die” cartoon in the Pennsylvania Gazette. The publication is in response to the exposition of the French and Indian War which will have a major impact on the revolution. His caricature of a snake severed into eight separate pieces above the label, “Join or Die,” symbolizes the colonists need to unite with one another before they all “die.” After the English win this war, mainland Britain is in a financial crisis which they impose on their colonies in the form of taxes. These taxes include, but are not limited to, the Stamp Act which taxes newspapers, pamphlets, and other large documents, Townshend Act which taxes tea, paint, and other imported items, and a group of taxes called the Intolerable Acts which stricken the colonists power to rule themselves. After years of providing reconciliation and amnesty to the monarch, the colonists make a major leap to revolution...

...originally written for my own use while taking CISC-432, a course in DBMS design and implementation at Queen’s University. The textbook used by that class is Database Management Systems, 3rd Edition by Raghu Ramakrishnan and Johannes Gehkre; some of the material below may be specific to that text. This document is provided in the hope that it is useful, but I can’t provide any assurance that any information it contains is in any way accurate or complete. Corrections or additions are welcome. Distribution Terms: This document is released into the public domain. Query Evaluation External Sorting • A DBMS frequently needs to sort data (e.g. for a merge-join, ORDER BY, GROUP BY, etc.) that exceeds the amount of main memory available. In order to do this, an external sort algorithm is used. • 2-Way External Merge Sort: – In the first pass, each page of the input relation is read into memory, sorted, and written out to disk. This creates N runs of 1 page each. – In each successive pass, each run is read into memory and merged with another run, then written out to disk. Since the number of runs is halved with every pass, this requires log2 N passes. Since an additional initial pass is required and each pass requires 2N I/Os, the total cost is: 2N( log2 N + 1) – Thus, we can see that the number of passes we need to make is critical to the overall performance of the sort (since in each pass, we read and write the entire file). Furthermore, the number of runs that we start with also determines...

...object-oriented programming is a way of modularizing common concerns. AspectJ is an implementation of aspect-oriented programming for Java A join point is a well-defined point in the program flow. A pointcut picks out certain join points and values at those points. A piece of advice is code that is executed when a join point is reached. These are the dynamic parts of AspectJ. AspectJ's aspect are the unit of modularity for crosscutting concerns. They behave somewhat like Java classes, but may also include pointcuts, advice and inter-type declarations. AspectJ provides for many kinds of join points, but this chapter discusses only one of them: method call join points. A method call join point encompasses the actions of an object receiving a method call. It includes all the actions that comprise a method call, starting after all arguments are evaluated up to and including return (either normally or by throwing an exception). when a particular method body executes execution(void Point.setX(int)) when a method is called call(void Point.setX(int)) when an exception handler executes handler(ArrayOutOfBoundsException) when the object currently executing (i.e. this) is of type SomeType this(SomeType) when the target object is of type SomeType target(SomeType) when the executing code belongs to class MyClass within(MyClass) when the join point is in the control flow of a call to a Test's no-argument main method cflow(call(void Test.main())) Pointcuts compose through...
