Sample Solution:
SQL Code:
-- Selecting venue_name and city
SELECT venue_name, city
FROM soccer_venue a
-- Joining soccer_venue with soccer_city using city_id
JOIN soccer_city b ON a.city_id = b.city_id
-- Joining the result with match_mast using venue_id
JOIN match_mast d ON d.venue_id = a.venue_id
-- Filtering the results to include only matches in the final play stage
AND d.play_stage = 'F';
Sample Output:
venue_name | city -----------------+------------- Stade de France | Saint-Denis (1 row)
Code Explanation:
The given query in SQL that returns a list of all the venue names and their corresponding cities where matches with play_stage 'F' were held..
The query uses two JOIN operations to link the soccer_venue and soccer_city tables based on the common city_id column. It then uses a third JOIN operation to link the match_mast table with the previous result set based on the common venue_id column. The ON condition for this JOIN specifies that only rows where the play_stage column equals 'F' (which likely stands for "finals") are included in the final result set.
Alternative Solutions:
Using Subquery with WHERE Clause:
-- Selecting venue_name and city
SELECT venue_name, city
FROM soccer_venue
-- Joining soccer_venue with soccer_city using city_id
JOIN soccer_city ON soccer_venue.city_id = soccer_city.city_id
-- Filtering the results to include only venues with venue_id in the subquery result
WHERE venue_id IN (
-- Selecting venue_id from match_mast where play_stage is 'F'
SELECT venue_id
FROM match_mast
WHERE play_stage = 'F'
);
Explanation:
This query uses a subquery in the WHERE clause to find the venue_id values where the play_stage is 'F'. Then, we perform an inner join between soccer_venue and soccer_city tables to get the venue_name and city.
Using EXISTS Subquery:
-- Selecting venue_name and city
SELECT venue_name, city
FROM soccer_venue
-- Joining soccer_venue with soccer_city using city_id
JOIN soccer_city ON soccer_venue.city_id = soccer_city.city_id
-- Using EXISTS to filter results based on a subquery condition
WHERE EXISTS (
-- Selecting 1 (or any constant) from match_mast
SELECT 1
FROM match_mast
-- Matching venue_id in both tables and checking for play_stage 'F'
WHERE match_mast.venue_id = soccer_venue.venue_id
AND play_stage = 'F'
);
Explanation:
This query uses an EXISTS subquery to check if there exists a match in the match_mast table with the same venue_id and play_stage is 'F'. If such a match is found, it includes the venue in the result.
Using INNER JOIN with WHERE Clause:
-- Selecting venue_name and city
SELECT venue_name, city
-- Inner joining soccer_venue with soccer_city using city_id
FROM soccer_venue
INNER JOIN soccer_city ON soccer_venue.city_id = soccer_city.city_id
-- Inner joining the result with match_mast using venue_id
INNER JOIN match_mast ON soccer_venue.venue_id = match_mast.venue_id
-- Filtering the results to include only matches in the final play stage
WHERE match_mast.play_stage = 'F';
Explanation:
This query uses INNER JOINs to combine the tables soccer_venue, soccer_city, and match_mast. It then applies a WHERE clause to filter the results where play_stage is 'F'.
