Using the ORDER BY Clause in Set Operations
•The ORDER BY clause can appear only once at the end of the compound query.
•Component queries cannot have individual ORDER BY clauses.
•ORDER BY clause recognizes only the columns of the first
SELECT query.
•By default, the first column of the first SELECT query is used to sort the output in an ascending order.

Using the ORDER BY Clause in Set Operations |
|
|
|
Oracle |
|
The ORDER BY clause can be used only once in a compound qu ry. If used, the ORDER BY clause must be placed at the end of the query. The ORDER BY clause a cepts the column name or an alias. By default, the output is sorted in ascending order in the first column of the first SELECT query.
Note: The ORDER BY clause does not recognize the column names of the second SELECT query. To |
||
avoid confusion over column names, it is a common practice to ORDER BY column positions. |
||
For example, in the following statement, the&output will be shown in ascending order of the job_id. |
||
|
Internal |
|
SELECT employee id, job id,salaryOnly |
||
FROM |
employees |
Use |
|
||
UNION |
|
|
SELECT |
employee id, job id,0 |
|
FROM |
job history |
|
ORDER BY 2; |
|
|
Oracle |
|
|
If you omit the ORDER BY, then by default the output will be sorted in the ascending order of employee id. You cannot use the columns from the second query to sort the output.

Quiz
Identify the set operator guidelines.
1.The expressions in the SELECT lists must match in number.
2.Parentheses may not be used to alter the sequence of execution.
3.The data type of each column in the second query must match the data type of its corresponding column in the first query.
4.The ORDER BY clause can be used only once in a compound query, unless a UNION ALL operator is used.

Summary
In this lesson, you should have learned how to use:
•UNION to return all distinct rows
•UNION ALL to return all rows, including duplicates
•INTERSECT to return all rows that are shared by both queries
•MINUS to return all distinct rows that are selected by the first query, but not by the second
•ORDER BY only at the very end of the statement

1.The HR department needs a list of department IDs for departments that do not contain the job ID ST_CLERK. Use the set operators to create this report.
2. The HR department needs a list of countries that have no departments located in them. Display the country ID and the name of the countries. Use the set operators to create this report.

3. Produce a list of jobs for departments 10, 50, and 20, in that order. Display the job ID and |
|
department ID by using the set operators. |

4.Create a report that lists the employee IDs and job IDs of those employees who currently have a
job title that is the same as their job title when they were initially hired by the company (that is, they changed jobs but have now gone back to doing their original job).Only

5.The HR department needs a report with the following specifications:
•Last name and department ID of all employees from the EMPLOYEES table, regardless of whether or not they belong to a department
•Department ID and department name of all departments from the DEPARTMENTS table,
regardless of whether or not they have employees working in them Write a compound query to accomplish this.
