Sample Solution:
SQL Code:
-- Selecting venue_name and city
SELECT a.venue_name, b.city
-- From clause with JOINs between soccer_venue, soccer_city, and match_mast
FROM soccer_venue a
JOIN soccer_city b ON a.city_id = b.city_id
JOIN match_mast c ON a.venue_id = c.venue_id
-- Filtering the results to include only the match with match_no equal to 1
WHERE match_no = 1;
Sample Output:
venue_name | city -----------------+------------- Stade de France | Saint-Denis (1 row)
Code Explanation:
The said query in SQL that selects the name of the venue where match number 1 is played, and the city in which the venue is located from the tables soccer_venue, soccer_city, and match_mast.
The JOIN keyword is used to join the soccer_venue with soccer_city on their city_id columns, and then join the resulting table with match_mast on their venue_id columns.
The WHERE keyword filters data for the match with match number 1.
Alternative Solutions:
Subquery with IN:
-- Selecting venue_name and city
SELECT a.venue_name, b.city
-- From clause with JOIN between soccer_venue and soccer_city using city_id
FROM soccer_venue a
JOIN soccer_city b ON a.city_id = b.city_id
-- Filtering the results to include only venues with venue_id found in the subquery
WHERE a.venue_id IN (
-- Subquery to select venue_id from match_mast for the match with match_no equal to 1
SELECT venue_id
-- From clause to select from match_mast
FROM match_mast
-- Condition for filtering match_mast based on match_no
WHERE match_no = 1
);
Explanation:
This query uses a subquery to select the venue_id from match_mast where match_no is 1. It then uses this list of venue_id values to filter the soccer_venue table.
EXISTS Subquery:
-- Selecting venue_name and city
SELECT a.venue_name, b.city
-- From clause with JOIN between soccer_venue and soccer_city using city_id
FROM soccer_venue a
JOIN soccer_city b ON a.city_id = b.city_id
-- Using EXISTS to filter results based on a subquery condition
WHERE EXISTS (
-- Subquery to check if there is at least one match for the venue with match_no equal to 1
SELECT 1
-- From clause to select from match_mast
FROM match_mast c
-- Conditions for joining match_mast based on venue_id and match_no
WHERE a.venue_id = c.venue_id
AND match_no = 1
);
Explanation:
This query uses an EXISTS subquery to check if there's at least one row in match_mast with the corresponding venue_id and match_no is 1. It joins soccer_venue and soccer_city tables.
