In this lesson, we learned about relationships between tables in relational databases and how to query information from multiple tables using SQL.
Let’s summarize what we’ve learned so far:
JOIN
will combine rows from different tables if the join condition is true.LEFT JOIN
will return every row in the left table, and if the join condition is not met,NULL
values are used to fill in the columns from the right table.Primary key is a column that serves a unique identifier for the rows in the table.
Foreign key is a column that contains the primary key to another table.
CROSS JOIN
lets us combine all rows of one table with all rows of another table.UNION
stacks one dataset on top of another.WITH
allows us to define one or more temporary tables that can be used in the final query.
