  2. Join (SQL) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Join_(SQL)

    An inner join (or join) requires each row in the two joined tables to have matching column values, and is a commonly used join operation in applications but should not be assumed to be the best choice in all situations. Inner join creates a new result table by combining column values of two tables (A and B) based upon the join-predicate.

  3. Hash join - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hash_join

    The hash join is an example of a join algorithm and is used in the implementation of a relational database management system.All variants of hash join algorithms involve building hash tables from the tuples of one or both of the joined relations, and subsequently probing those tables so that only tuples with the same hash code need to be compared for equality in equijoins.

  4. Sort-merge join - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sort-merge_join

    The sort-merge join (also known as merge join) is a join algorithm and is used in the implementation of a relational database management system. The basic problem of a join algorithm is to find, for each distinct value of the join attribute, the set of tuples in each relation which display that value. The key idea of the sort-merge algorithm is ...

  5. Query by Example - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Query_by_Example

    Query by Example (QBE) is a database query language for relational databases. It was devised by Moshé M. Zloof at IBM Research during the mid-1970s, in parallel to the development of SQL. [1] It is the first graphical query language, using visual tables where the user would enter commands, example elements and conditions.

  6. Relational algebra - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Relational_algebra

    The right outer join ( ) behaves almost identically to the left outer join, but the roles of the tables are switched. The right outer join of relations R and S is written as R S. [e] The result of the right outer join is the set of all combinations of tuples in R and S that are equal on their common attribute names, in addition to tuples in S ...

  7. Relational database - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Relational_database

    The join operation defined for relational databases is often referred to as a natural join (⋈). In this type of join, two relations are connected by their common attributes. MySQL's approximation of a natural join is the Inner join operator. In SQL, an INNER JOIN prevents a cartesian product from occurring when there are two tables in a query.

  8. Join dependency - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Join_dependency

    2-ary join dependencies are called multivalued dependency as a historical artifact of the fact that they were studied before the general case. More specifically if U is a set of attributes and R a relation over it, then R satisfies X ↠ Y {\displaystyle X\twoheadrightarrow Y} if and only if R satisfies ∗ ( X ∪ Y , X ∪ ( U − Y ...

  9. DUAL table - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DUAL_table

    The idea was that you could do a JOIN to the DUAL table and create two rows in the result for every one row in your table. Then, by using GROUP BY, the resulting join could be summarized to show the amount of storage for the DATA extent and for the INDEX extent(s). The name, DUAL, seemed apt for the process of creating a pair of rows from just one.
