I'm working on an old exam paper in preparation for an exam.
Inner Join and Natural Join:
Select * From r INNER JOIN s ON r.F=s.F
Why when doing an Inner Join does 12 get removed in row E and not 20?
Select E, G From r NATURAL JOIN s;
Is 12 removed from row E and not 20?
Select * From r INNER JOIN s ON r.F=s.F
result will be
E F F G
10 5 5 30
20 15 15 20
The INNER JOIN keyword selects records that have matching values in both tables. This is why 12 is removed ie, no common column. Now the result for
Select E, G From r NATURAL JOIN s
is
E G
10 30
20 20
when you use * on select you get
F E G
5 10 30
15 20 20
while using * on natural join it will be expanded to the following list of columns
