Hour  15.  Combining Multiple Queries into One


The following workshop is composed of a series of quiz questions and practical exercises. The quiz questions are designed to test your overall understanding of the current material. The practical exercises are intended to afford you the opportunity to apply the concepts discussed during the current hour, as well as build upon the knowledge acquired in previous hours of study. Please take time to complete the quiz questions and exercises before continuing. Refer to Appendix C,"Answers to Quizzes and Exercises," for answers.

Quiz

Refer to the Oracle syntax covered in this hour for the following quiz questions.

1:

Is the syntax correct for the following compound queries? If not, what would correct the syntax? Use the EMPLOYEE_TBL and the EMPLOYEE_PAY_TBL shown as follows :

EMPLOYEE_TBL

 

EMP_ID

VARCHAR(9)

NOT NULL,

LAST_NAME

VARCHAR(15)

NOT NULL,

FIRST_NAME

VARCHAR(15)

NOT NULL,

MIDDLE_NAME

VARCHAR(15),

 

ADDRESS

VARCHAR(30)

NOT NULL,

CITY

VARCHAR(15)

NOT NULL,

STATE

VARCHAR(2)

NOT NULL,

ZIP

INTEGER(5)

NOT NULL,

PHONE

VARCHAR(10),

 

PAGER

VARCHAR(10),

 
 CONSTRAINT EMP_PK PRIMARY KEY (EMP_ID) 

EMPLOYEE_PAY_TBL

 

EMP_ID

VARCHAR(9)

NOT NULL,

PRIMARY KEY

POSITION

VARCHAR(15)

NOT NULL,

 

DATE_HIRE

DATETIME,

   

PAY_RATE

DECIMAL(4,2)

NOT NULL,

 

DATE_LAST_RAISE

DATE,

   

SALARY

DECIMAL(8,2),

   

BONUS

DECIMAL(6,2),

   
 CONSTRAINT EMP_FK FOREIGN KEY (EMP_ID)  REFERENCES EMPLOYEE_TBL (EMP_ID) 
  1.  SELECT EMP_ID, LAST_NAME, FIRST_NAME  FROM EMPLOYEE_TBL UNION SELECT EMP_ID, POSITION, DATE_HIRE FROM EMPLOYEE_PAY_TBL; 

    This compound query does not work because the data types do not match. The EMP_ID columns match, but the LAST_NAME and FIRST_NAME data types do not match the POSITION and DATE_HIRE data types.

  1.  SELECT EMP_ID FROM EMPLOYEE_TBL  UNION ALL SELECT EMP_ID FROM EMPLOYEE_PAY_TBL ORDER BY EMP_ID; 

    Yes, the statement is correct.

  1.  SELECT EMP_ID FROM EMPLOYEE_PAY_TBL  INTERSECT SELECT EMP_ID FROM EMPLOYEE_TBL ORDER BY 1; 

Yes, this compound query works.

Match the correct operator to the following statements.

Statement

Operator

a

Show duplicates

b

Return only rows from the first query that match those in the second query

c

Return no duplicates

d

Return only rows from the first query not returned by the second

UNION

INTERSECT

UNION ALL

EXCEPT

Exercises

Q1:

Refer to the Oracle syntax covered in this hour for the following exercises. Write your queries out by hand on a sheet of paper because MySQL does not support the operators covered in this hour. When you are finished, compare your results to mine.

Using the CUSTOMER_TBL and the ORDERS_TBL as listed:

CUSTOMER_TBL

 

CUST_IN

VARCHAR(10)

NOT NULL

PRIMARY KEY

CUST_NAME

VARCHAR(30)

NOT NULL,

 

CUST_ADDRESS

VARCHAR(20)

NOT NULL,

 

CUST_CITY

VARCHAR(15)

NOT NULL,

 

CUST_STATE

VARCHAR(2)

NOT NULL,

 

CUST_ZIP

INTEGER(5)

NOT NULL,

 

CUST_PHONE

INTEGER(10),

   

CUST_FAX

INTEGER(10)

   

ORDERS_TBL

 

ORD_NUM

VARCHAR(10)

NOT NULL

PRIMARY KEY

CUST_ID

VARCHAR(10)

NOT NULL,

 

PROD_ID

VARCHAR(10)

NOT NULL,

 

QTY

INTEGER(6)

NOT NULL,

 

ORD_DATE

DATETIME
