Illustrate the content of the COUNTRIES table using the following statement and snapshot.

INSERT INTO CITIES (country_id, city_name,last_updated) INSERT INTO COUNTRIES (country_name,last_updated)

Now insert some data into the COUNTRIES and CITIES tables using INSERT statement as follows:.

The following CREATE TABLE statements will create the COUNTRIES and CITIES table.įOREIGN KEY (country_id) REFERENCES COUNTRIES (country_id)

But if possible, we should avoid using the NATURAL JOIN because if we are having multiple common columns, it gives us an unexpected result.Ĭonsider the following example for two tables named COUNTRIES and CITIES.

It is not required to define the join clause as the NATURAL JOIN uses an implicit join clause based on the common column.

Illustrate the result of the above statement using the following snapshot.

INNER JOIN transaction USING (transaction_id)

The above statement with the NATURAL JOIN clause similar to the statement with the INNER JOIN clause as follows:.

Illustrate the result of the above statement using the following snapshot. Join the invoices table with the transaction table using the NATURAL JOIN clause:.

Illustrate the content of the invoices table using the following statement and snapshot.Illustrate the content of the transaction table using the following statement and snapshot.INSERT INTO invoices (invoice_data, transaction_id) INSERT INTO transaction (transaction_data) Now insert some data into the transaction and invoices tables using INSERT statement as follows: The transaction may have zero or more invoices, and the invoice will belong to one and only one transaction. So while performing natural join operation, we will use the transaction_id column as it is the common column for both tables. The transaction_id is the primary key of the transaction table, which is referred to as a foreign key for the invoices table.The following CREATE TABLE statements will create the transaction and invoices table.įOREIGN KEY (transaction_id) REFERENCES transaction (transaction_id) Let’s create two tables named’ transaction’ and ‘invoices’ to understand the PostgreSQL NATURAL JOIN examples. Examples to Implement NATURAL JOIN in PostgreSQL In PostgreSQL, the NATURAL JOIN is an INNER JOIN where we combine all columns with the same name in both tables. Every column in the second (right) table which is not common with the left (first) table columns.Every column in the left (first) table which is not common with the right (second) table columns.All the common columns from the left (first) table and right (second) table.If we create a SQL statement having an asterisk (*) instead of column names in the SELECT clause with the NATURAL JOIN operation, then the columns will be considered in the following order for an asterisk (*) : The PostgreSQL uses the INNER JOIN by default if we do not define a name of join explicitly as INNER JOIN, LEFT JOIN, or RIGHT JOIN. NATURAL JOIN operation can be any of the following: The table_name_1 is generally read as a left (first) table, and The table_name_2 is generally read right (second) table. NATURAL JOIN table_name_2 Įxplanation: The table_name_1 and table_name_2 are the two tables on which we perform a joining to get the combined result for the columns having the same name in both tables.
