Sample table: orders
Sample table: customer
Sample table: salesman
Sample Solution:
SELECT a.ord_no,a.ord_date,a.purch_amt,
b.cust_name AS "Customer Name", b.grade,
c.name AS "Salesman", c.commission
FROM orders a
INNER JOIN customer b
ON a.customer_id=b.customer_id
INNER JOIN salesman c

Explanation:
The said SQL query that uses the INNER JOIN clause to combine rows from three tables: orders, customer, and salesman.
The query retrieves the ord_no, ord_date, purch_amt, cust_name, grade, name, and commission from the three tables where the customer_id from the orders table matches the customer_id from the customer table, and the salesman_id from the orders table matches the salesman_id from the salesman table.
The query also uses the AS keyword to rename the cust_name and name columns as 'Customer Name' and 'Salesman' respectively.

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;
