SQL Exercise: Customer who works either through a salesman or by own

SQL JOINS: Exercise-8 with Solution

From the following tables write a SQL query to display the customer name, customer city, grade, salesman, salesman city. The results should be sorted by ascending customer_id.

Sample table: customer


Sample table: salesman


Sample Solution:

SELECT a.cust_name,a.city,a.grade, 
b.name AS "Salesman",b.city 
FROM customer a 
LEFT JOIN salesman b 
ON a.salesman_id=b.salesman_id 
order by a.customer_id;

Output of the Query:

cust_name	city		grade	Salesman	city
Brad Guzan	London			Pit Alex	London
Nick Rimando	New York	100	James Hoog	New York
Jozy Altidor	Moscow		200	Paul Adam	Rome
Fabian Johnson	Paris		300	Mc Lyon		Paris
Graham Zusi	California	200	Nail Knite	Paris
Brad Davis	New York	200	James Hoog	New York
Julian Green	London		300	Nail Knite	Paris
Geoff Cameron	Berlin		100	Lauson Hen	San Jose

Explanation:

The said SQL query that uses the LEFT JOIN clause to combine rows from two tables: customer and salesman.
The query retrieves the cust_name, city, grade, name, and city from the two tables where the salesman_id from the customer table matches the salesman_id from the salesman table.
The query also uses the AS keyword to rename the name column as 'Salesman'.
The result of the query will show all rows from the customer table and the matching rows from the salesman table, and any customer without a matching salesman will have NULL values for the salesman columns.
The query also uses the ORDER BY clause to sort the result by customer_id.

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;
