Explanation:
The said SQL query is selecting the customer name, city, order number, order date, purchase amount, salesman name and commission from 3 tables customer aliased as a, orders aliased as b, and salesman aliased as c. It is joining these tables on the 'customer_id' and 'salesman_id' column respectively.
Additionally, it is using two LEFT OUTER JOINs, which will retrieve all records from the left table and the matching records from the right table. If no match is found on the right table, it will return NULL for the right table's fields.
This query will retrieve all customer details, order details and salesman details along with their commission even if some customer or salesman doesn't have any orders.

SQL: Tips of the Day
Grouped LIMIT in PostgreSQL: Show the first N rows for each group?
db=# SELECT * FROM xxx; id | section_id | name ----+------------+------ 1 | 1 | A 2 | 1 | B 3 | 1 | C 4 | 1 | D 5 | 2 | E 6 | 2 | F 7 | 3 | G 8 | 2 | H (8 rows)
I need the first 2 rows (ordered by name) for each section_id, i.e. a result similar to:
id | section_id | name ----+------------+------ 1 | 1 | A 2 | 1 | B 5 | 2 | E 6 | 2 | F 7 | 3 | G (5 rows)
PostgreSQL v9.3 you can do a lateral join
select distinct t_outer.section_id, t_top.id, t_top.name from t t_outer join lateral ( select * from t t_inner where t_inner.section_id = t_outer.section_id order by t_inner.name limit 2 ) t_top on true order by t_outer.section_id;
