Code Explanation:
The said query in SQL that returns a list of match numbers, the corresponding country names, and the goal score for each match by normal goal.
The query uses a JOIN operation to link the match_details and soccer_country tables based on the common country_id column .
The WHERE clause filters the result set to only include rows where the decided_by column equals 'N', which is a normal goal.
The ORDER BY clause sorts the result set in ascending order based on the match_no column.
Alternative Solutions:
Using EXISTS Subquery:
-- Selecting match_no, country_name, and goal_score
SELECT match_no, country_name, goal_score
-- Joining match_details with soccer_country using team_id and country_id
FROM match_details md
JOIN soccer_country sc ON md.team_id = sc.country_id
-- Filtering the results to include only matches that were not decided
WHERE md.decided_by = 'N'
-- Using EXISTS to check if there is a corresponding country_id in soccer_country
AND EXISTS (
SELECT 1
FROM soccer_country
WHERE country_id = md.team_id
)
-- Sorting the results based on match_no
ORDER BY match_no;
Explanation:
This query uses an EXISTS subquery to ensure that there is a matching country_id in the soccer_country table. The WHERE clause filters the results where decided_by is 'N', and the final result is ordered by match_no.
Using JOIN with ON Clause and WHERE Clause:
-- Selecting match_no, country_name, and goal_score
SELECT a.match_no, b.country_name, a.goal_score
-- Joining match_details with soccer_country using team_id and country_id
FROM match_details a
JOIN soccer_country b ON a.team_id = b.country_id
-- Filtering the results to include only matches that were not decided and have a valid country_id
WHERE a.decided_by = 'N'
AND b.country_id IS NOT NULL
-- Sorting the results based on match_no
ORDER BY a.match_no;
Explanation:
This query combines the match_details and soccer_country tables using a JOIN with an ON clause. The WHERE clause filters the results where decided_by is 'N' and ensures that there is a non-null country_id. The final result is ordered by match_no.
