  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. Merge (SQL) - Wikipedia

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

    A right join is employed over the Target (the INTO table) and the Source (the USING table / view / sub-query)--where Target is the left table and Source is the right one. The four possible combinations yield these rules:

  4. 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.

  5. SQL - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SQL

    SQL was initially developed at IBM by Donald D. Chamberlin and Raymond F. Boyce after learning about the relational model from Edgar F. Codd [12] in the early 1970s. [13] This version, initially called SEQUEL (Structured English Query Language), was designed to manipulate and retrieve data stored in IBM's original quasirelational database management system, System R, which a group at IBM San ...

    Example of QBE query with joins, designed in Borland's Paradox database. 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]

  7. 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 ...

  8. Update (SQL) - Wikipedia

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

    In some databases, such as PostgreSQL, when a FROM clause is present, what essentially happens is that the target table is joined to the tables mentioned in the fromlist, and each output row of the join represents an update operation for the target table. When using FROM, one should ensure that the join produces at most one output row for each ...

  9. Data control language - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data_Control_Language

    Data Control Language is one of the logical group in SQL Commands. SQL [ 1 ] is the standard language for relational database management systems. SQL statements are used to perform tasks such as insert data to a database, delete or update data in a database, or retrieve data from a database.
