    Using A Self Join - SQLZOO

    Uploaded by

    This document discusses using self joins in SQL. A self join allows a table to be joined with itself. This can be used to find all pairs of records in a table that match on certain fields, like finding all bus routes that share stops or bus numbers. Examples are given showing how to write SQL queries to perform self joins on a sample "route" table to identify routes that share stops or bus numbers.

    Edinburgh Buses: self join

    A table may be joined with itself. When this happens we need


    some mechanism for distinguishing the
    instances of the table.
    Labels may be introduced in the FROM clause - a dot is used to
    separate the label
    and attribute name when used elsewhere in
    the statement.

    Examples of self joins on the route table

    Self join of route on (num, company)


    We might join the route table on the (num, company) pair.
    The result is a list of all pairs of stops which
    share a
    service.

    SELECT * FROM route R1, route R2

    WHERE R1.num=R2.num AND R1.company=R2.company

    This is a large table with over 11000 entries. An extract is


    shown below. There are 121 entries for the LRT
    1 service alone.
    There are 11 stops on the number 1. It is a circular route -
    the first and last stops are
    identical.

    num company pos stop num_1 company_1 pos_1 stop_1


    1 LRT 1 134 1 LRT 7 217
    1 LRT 1 134 1 LRT 11 134
    1 LRT 1 134 1 LRT 10 79
    ...
    1 LRT 2 97 1 LRT 7 217
    1 LRT 2 97 1 LRT 11 134
    ...
    2 LRT 9 31 2 LRT 11 217
    2 LRT 9 31 2 LRT 1 168

    Self join of route on stop

    We might join the route table with itself on the stop field.
    The result is a list of all pairs of services which
    share a
    stop.

    SELECT * FROM route R1, route R2

    WHERE R1.stop=R2.stop;

    In the extract below some of the entries for stop 53,


    'Craiglockhart' are shown.

    num company pos stop num_1 company_1 pos_1 stop_1


    47 LRT 4 53 47 LRT 4 53
