Hello, and welcome to working with multiple tables.

In this video,
we will learn about joining two tables to create a result set. At the end of this
lesson, you will b e able
to define the join operator, explain the role of primary keys and foreign keys in a
join
operation, and list different types of join operators. A simple SELECT statement
retrieves
data from one or more columns from a single table. The next level of complexity is
retrieving
data from two or more tables. This leads to multiple possibilities of how the
result set
is generated. To combine data from two tables, we use the JOIN operator. A join
combines
the rows from two or more tables based on a relationship between certain columns in
these tables. Based on the Book and Author entity examples, these are part of a
simplified
library database model. This Entity-Re lationship Diagram represents the Relational
Data Model
for the Author and Book entity, as well as other entities such as Borrower, Loan,
Copy,
and Author List. In this model, the information is split into different tables.
If you wanted to know which borrower has which copy of a book out on loan, you need
to gather
data from three tables, the Borrower, Loan, and Copy tables. This is when you need
to
use the JOIN operator. With the JOIN operator, you are combining data from more
than one table based on a relationship between certain columns in these tables. So
the first
thing you need to do is identify the relationship between those tables, that is,
the column
or columns in each table that will be used as the link between the tables. In this
Entity-Relationship Diagram, notice that Author_ID, Book_ID, Borrower_ID and
Copy_ID have the
Primary Key icon. A Primary Key uniquely identifies each row in a table. Notice
also the entities on the lower half of the screen. Some attributes have FK in
brackets
next to them. For example, the Copy entity has attribute Book_ID with the FK in
brackets.
This identifies the Foreign Key. A Foreign Key is a set of columns referring to a
primary
key of another table. So, if you wanted to know which borrower has a book out on
loan,
you need to gather data from the Borrower and Loan tables. You will need the
Borrower_ID
from both tables. SQL offers you several different types of joins. It all depends
on
what you are looking for. For example, you can extract a data set corresponding to
the
intersection of the two tables involved. Or you can choose a larger data set. You
can
go up to the point of selecting the combination of all the data from those two
tables.
Now you can define the join operator, explain the role of primary keys and foreign
keys
in a join operation, and list different types of join operators. Thanks for
watching
this video.
