Problem Name: 175. Combine Two Tables
Problem Link: https://leetcode.com/problems/combine-two-tables/
Table: Person
+-------------+---------+ | Column Name | Type | +-------------+---------+ | personId | int | | lastName | varchar | | firstName | varchar | +-------------+---------+ personId is the primary key column for this table. This table contains information about the ID of some persons and their first and last names.
Table: Address
+-------------+---------+ | Column Name | Type | +-------------+---------+ | addressId | int | | personId | int | | city | varchar | | state | varchar | +-------------+---------+ addressId is the primary key column for this table. Each row of this table contains information about the city and state of one person with ID = PersonId.
Write an SQL query to report the first name, last name, city, and state of each person in the Person table. If the address of a personId is not present in the Address table, report null instead.
Return the result table in any order.
The query result format is in the following example.
Example 1:
Input: Person table: +----------+----------+-----------+ | personId | lastName | firstName | +----------+----------+-----------+ | 1 | Wang | Allen | | 2 | Alice | Bob | +----------+----------+-----------+ Address table: +-----------+----------+---------------+------------+ | addressId | personId | city | state | +-----------+----------+---------------+------------+ | 1 | 2 | New York City | New York | | 2 | 3 | Leetcode | California | +-----------+----------+---------------+------------+ Output: +-----------+----------+---------------+----------+ | firstName | lastName | city | state | +-----------+----------+---------------+----------+ | Allen | Wang | Null | Null | | Bob | Alice | New York City | New York | +-----------+----------+---------------+----------+ Explanation: There is no address in the address table for the personId = 1 so we return null in their city and state. addressId = 1 contains information about the address of personId = 2.
Code Examples
#1 Code Example with SQL Programming
Code -
SQL
select FirstName, LastName, City, State
from Person left join Address
on Person.PersonId = Address.PersonId;
Input
Person table:
+----------+----------+-----------+
| personId | lastName | firstName |
+----------+----------+-----------+
| 1 | Wang | Allen |
| 2 | Alice | Bob |
+----------+----------+-----------+
Address table:
+-----------+----------+---------------+------------+
| addressId | personId | city | state |
+-----------+----------+---------------+------------+
| 1 | 2 | New York City | New York |
| 2 | 3 | Leetcode | California |
+-----------+----------+---------------+------------+
Output
+-----------+----------+---------------+----------+
| firstName | lastName | city | state |
+-----------+----------+---------------+----------+
| Allen | Wang | Null | Null |
| Bob | Alice | New York City | New York |
+-----------+----------+---------------+----------+
