I have two tables I need to join based on zip code.
Table1:
ZIP | INCOME |
---|---|
ZCTA5 01845 | 45,000 |
ZCTA5 11421 | 52,000 |
... | ... |
ZCTA5 99704 | 42,000 |
There are thousands of entries in Table1
Table2:
ZIP | column1 |
---|---|
01845 | Y |
11421 | N |
... | ... |
99704 | Y |
Table1 has several more entries in it than Table2 that I don't need, I'm just trying to get incomes for the zip codes listed in Table2. I figure I can just do an inner join for this, but I'm running into the issue that I have that ZCTA5 preceding the zip code in table1. I was curious if there was a way to do this?
Use the substr
function to extract the zip code from table1, and join on that:
SELECT * FROM table1 t1 INNER JOIN table2 t2 ON substr(t1.zip, -5) = t2.zip;
