Sample Solution:
SQL Code:
-- This SQL query retrieves match numbers from the 'match_details' table
-- where the teams are either Germany or Poland, and each match involves both teams.
SELECT match_no
-- Selects the 'match_no' column.
FROM match_details
-- 'match_details' is the name of the table being queried.
WHERE team_id = (
-- The WHERE clause filters rows where 'team_id' matches the country ID for Germany in the subquery.
SELECT country_id
-- The subquery selects the 'country_id' column.
FROM soccer_country
-- 'soccer_country' is the name of the table involved in the subquery.
WHERE country_name = 'Germany'
)
OR team_id = (
-- The OR condition allows for rows where 'team_id' matches the country ID for Poland in the subquery.
SELECT country_id
-- The subquery selects the 'country_id' column.
FROM soccer_country
-- 'soccer_country' is the name of the table involved in the subquery.
WHERE country_name = 'Poland'
)
GROUP BY match_no
-- Groups the results by 'match_no'.
HAVING COUNT(DISTINCT team_id) = 2;
-- The HAVING clause filters groups where the count of distinct 'team_id' values is equal to 2.
Sample Output:

Code Explanation:
The said query in SQL query that selects the match number, play stage, play date, results, and goal score from the 'match_mast' table for matches where either Portugal or Hungary participated and there were exactly two teams in the match
The WHERE clause filters the results to only include rows where the "match_no" column is in the list of match numbers where either Portugal or Hungary participated and there were exactly two teams in the match.
The inner query selects the match numbers from the 'match_details' table where either Portugal or Hungary participated and there were exactly two teams in the match.
Alternative Solutions:
Using JOIN and WHERE:
SELECT mm.match_no, mm.play_stage, mm.play_date, mm.results, mm.goal_score
FROM match_mast mm
JOIN match_details md ON mm.match_no = md.match_no
JOIN soccer_country sc ON md.team_id = sc.country_id
WHERE sc.country_name IN ('Portugal', 'Hungary')
GROUP BY mm.match_no
HAVING COUNT(DISTINCT md.team_id) = 2;
Explanation:
This query joins match_mast, match_details, and soccer_country based on their respective relationships. It then filters for matches involving either Portugal or Hungary, groups the results by match number, and ensures that both teams are present in the match.
Using EXISTS:
SELECT match_no, play_stage, play_date, results, goal_score
FROM match_mast mm
WHERE EXISTS (
SELECT 1
FROM match_details md
JOIN soccer_country sc ON md.team_id = sc.country_id
WHERE mm.match_no = md.match_no
AND sc.country_name IN ('Portugal', 'Hungary')
GROUP BY md.match_no
HAVING COUNT(DISTINCT md.team_id) = 2
);
Explanation:
This query uses a correlated subquery with EXISTS to find matches where both Portugal and Hungary participated.
Using INTERSECT:
SELECT match_no, play_stage, play_date, results, goal_score
FROM match_mast
WHERE match_no IN (
SELECT match_no
FROM match_details
WHERE team_id = (
SELECT country_id
FROM soccer_country
WHERE country_name = 'Portugal'
)
INTERSECT
SELECT match_no
FROM match_details
WHERE team_id = (
SELECT country_id
FROM soccer_country
WHERE country_name = 'Hungary'
)
);
Explanation:
This query uses the INTERSECT operator to find matches that involve both Portugal and Hungary.
