Applying Additional Conditions to a Join
Use the AND clause or the WHERE clause to apply additional conditions:
|
|
SELECT e.employee_id, e.last_name, e.department_id, |
|
||||||
|
|
|
d.department_id, d.location_id |
|
|
||||
|
|
FROM |
employees e JOIN departments d |
|
|
||||
|
|
ON |
(e.department_id = d.department_id) |
|
|||||
|
|
AND |
e.manager_id = 149 |
; |
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
Or |
|

SELECT e.employee_id, e.last_name, e.department_id, |
|
||||||
|
|
|
d.department_id, d.location_id |
|
|
||||
|
|
FROM |
employees e JOIN departments d |
|
|
||||
|
|
ON |
(e.department_id = d.department_id) |
|
|||||
|
|
WHERE |
e.manager_id = 149 |
; |

Applying Additional Conditions to a Join |
|
|
|
|
|||||
|
You can apply additional conditions to the join. |
Oracle |
|||||||
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|||
|
The example shown performs a join on the EMPLOYEES |
nd DEPARTMENTS tables and, in |
addition, displays only employees who have a manager ID of 149. To add additional conditions to |
||
the ON clause, you can add AND clauses. Alternatively, you can use a WHERE clause to apply |
||
additional conditions. |

Joining a Table to Itself
EMPLOYEES (WORKER) |
EMPLOYEES (MANAGER) |
… |
|
|
|
… |
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
|
|
|

|

|
MANAGER_ID in the WORKER table is equal to |

|
EMPLOYEE_ID in the MANAGER table. |
Copyright © 2009, Oracle. All rights reserved.
Sometimes you need to join a table to itself. To find the name of ach employee’s manager, you need to join the EMPLOYEES table to itself, or perform a self-join. For example, to find the name of
Lorentz’s manager, you need to:
• Find Lorentz in the EMPLOYEES table by looking at the LAST NAME column |
||
|
|
Only |
• Find the manager number for Lorentz by lookingOracleat the MANAGER_ID column. Lorentz’s |
||
manager number is 103. |
& |
|
|
|
|
Internal |
|
|
• Find the name of the manager with |
EMPLOYEE ID 103 by looking at the LAST_NAME column. |
|
Hunold’s employee number is 103, so Hunold is Lorentz’s manager. |
||
Use |
||
In this process, you look in the table twice. The first time you look in the table to find Lorentz in the |
||
LAST_NAME column and he MANAGER ID value of 103. The second time you look in the |
||
EMPLOYEE_ID column to find 103 and the LAST_NAME column to find Hunold. |

Self-Joins Using the ON Clause
SELECT |
worker.last_name emp, manager.last_name mgr |
FROM |
employees worker JOIN employees manager |
ON |
(worker.manager_id = manager.employee_id); |

Self-Joins Using the ON Clause |
Oracle |
||||
|
|
|
|||
|
The ON clause can also be used to join columns that have differ nt names, within the same table or in |
||||
|
a different table. |
|
|
|
|
|
The example shown is a self-join of the EMPLOYEES t ble, based on the EMPLOYEE_ID and |
||||
|
MANAGER_ID columns. |
|
Only |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Note: The parenthesis around the joined columns as in the s ide example, (e.manager_id = |
||||
|
m.employee_id) is optional. So, even&ON e.manager id = m.employee_id will work. |
