One Pager Cheat Sheet

  • This tutorial covers four SET operators - UNION, UNION ALL, INTERSECT and MINUS - which combine the results of two or more component queries to form a single set of results, while adhering to certain rules.
  • The UNION set operator combines the results of two or more SELECT operations, removing any duplicate rows during the process.
  • The UNION ALL operator allows for duplicate values to be included in the resulting set, as seen in the sample query and resulting table provided.
  • UNION removes duplicate rows from the resulting table, while UNION ALL includes them.
  • The INTERSECT set operator is used to combine two or more SELECT statements, returning only the duplicate rows which are present in each SELECT statement.
  • The MINUS set operator returns the rows from the first query that are not present in the second query, removing any duplicate rows and displaying the result in ascending order.
  • The MINUS operator can be used to get the rows of Table2 that are not present in Table1 by reversing the order of the two queries.
