【LeetCode刷题】SQL-Combine Two Tables
Table: Person
+-------------+---------+ | Column Name | Type | +-------------+---------+ | PersonId | int | | FirstName | varchar | | LastName | varchar | +-------------+---------+ PersonId is the primary key column for this table.
Table: Address
+-------------+---------+ | Column Name | Type | +-------------+---------+ | AddressId | int | | PersonId | int | | City | varchar | | State | varchar | +-------------+---------+ AddressId is the primary key column for this table.
Write a SQL query for a report that provides the following information for each person in the Person table, regardless if there is an address for each of those people:
题目大意:
有两个数据表:Person表和Address表。Person(人员)表主键为PersonId,Address(地址)表主键是AddressId,通过PersonId与Person表关联。
编写一个SQL查询,对于Person表中的每一个人,取出FirstName, LastName, City, State属性,无论其地址信息是否存在。
解题思路:
本题是一个简单的连表查询,以Person表为主表,Address表为副表。所以可以使用左关联查询来进行联表查询。
关于左(外)关联、右(外)关联、内关联以及外关联查询。详见此篇博客:http://www.cnblogs.com/afirefly/archive/2010/10/08/1845906.html
一句话介绍就是:左关联(Left Join)就是以左边的表为准,只要左边的表有数据就输出,不管右边的表有没有数据。右关联(Right Join)相反,以右边的表为准。而内关联则是两张表都要有数据才能查询到。外关联则是只要任意一张表有数据就能查询并显示。
所以本题使用左关联。
SQL语句:
SELECT p.FirstName, p.LastName, a.City, a.State
FROM Person p LEFT JOIN Address a on a.PersonId=p.PersonId;
