SQL JOINS: Exercise-15 with Solution

For those customers from the existing list who put one or more orders, or which orders have been placed by the customer who is not on the list, create a report containing the customer name, city, order number, order date, and purchase amount

Sample table: customer


Sample table: orders


Sample Solution:

SELECT a.cust_name,a.city, b.ord_no,
b.ord_date,b.purch_amt AS "Order Amount" 
FROM customer a 
LEFT OUTER JOIN orders b 
ON a.customer_id=b.customer_id;

Explanation:

The said SQL query that is joining two tables: customer alias a, and orders alias b. The query is using a LEFT OUTER JOIN on customer and orders tables on the 'customer_id' column.
The query is then selecting several columns from each table: 'cust_name' and 'city' from 'customer' table, 'ord_no', 'ord_date', and 'purch_amt' aliased as 'Order Amount' from orders table.
The LEFT OUTER JOIN ensures that all rows from the customer table are included in the result set, with NULL values in the columns of the orders table for those customers that do not have any matching rows in the orders table.

Visual Explanation:

Result of a report with customer name, city, order no. order date, purchase amount for those customers from the existing list who placed one or more orders or which order(s) have been placed by the customer who is not in the list

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;
