Sample Solution:
-- Selecting specific columns from the Product table and SalesOrderDetail table
SELECT p.Name, sod.SalesOrderID
-- From the Production schema's Product table, aliasing it as 'p'
FROM Production.Product AS p
-- Performing a full outer join between Product and SalesOrderDetail tables
-- Matching rows from both tables will be included, and unmatched rows will be included with NULL values
FULL OUTER JOIN Sales.SalesOrderDetail AS sod
ON p.ProductID = sod.ProductID
-- Ordering the results by the product name
ORDER BY p.Name ;
Explanation:
- The SQL query retrieves data from the Product table in the Production schema, and the SalesOrderDetail table in the Sales schema.
- It selects two columns: Name from the Product table and SalesOrderID from the SalesOrderDetail table.
- The FULL OUTER JOIN clause is used to combine rows from both tables based on a matching condition, which is the equality of ProductID between Product and SalesOrderDetail tables.
- This join type ensures that all rows from both tables are included in the result set. If there are unmatched rows in either table, NULL values will be included for the columns from the other table.
- The result set will contain product names and their associated sales order IDs, with NULL sales order IDs for products that haven't been ordered yet.
- The ORDER BY clause sorts the result set alphabetically by product name.
