  2. 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 ...

  3. Join (SQL) - Wikipedia

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

    Right and left outer joins are functionally equivalent. Neither provides any functionality that the other does not, so right and left outer joins may replace each other as long as the table order is switched. A Venn diagram representing the full join SQL statement between tables A and B.

  4. Relational model - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Relational_model

    These include semi-join, outer operators such as outer join and outer union, and various forms of division. Then there are operators to rename columns, and summarizing or aggregating operators, and if you permit relation values as attributes (relation-valued attribute), then operators such as group and ungroup.

  5. Recursive join - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Recursive_join

    The recursive join is an operation used in relational databases, also sometimes called a "fixed-point join". It is a compound operation that involves repeating the join operation, typically accumulating more records each time, until a repetition makes no change to the results (as compared to the results of the previous iteration).

  6. 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.

  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. Nested loop join - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nested_loop_join

    algorithm nested_loop_join is for each tuple r in R do for each tuple s in S do if r and s satisfy the join condition then yield tuple <r,s> This algorithm will involve n r *b s + b r block transfers and n r +b r seeks, where b r and b s are number of blocks in relations R and S respectively, and n r is the number of tuples in relation R.

  9. Null (SQL) - Wikipedia

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

    SQL outer joins, including left outer joins, right outer joins, and full outer joins, automatically produce Nulls as placeholders for missing values in related tables. For left outer joins, for instance, Nulls are produced in place of rows missing from the table appearing on the right-hand side of the LEFT OUTER JOIN operator. The following ...
