Assuming I have 2 tables
Table a
brand Fruit edible color size
farmers banana yes yellow null
fresh banana yes red 10
bounty banana null green 2
farmers apple yes red 5
organic grapes null violet 5
love strawberry yes null 5
flow lavander no null null
Table b
boxId fruit edible color size
10100 banana yes yellow 9
19299 banana yes red 10
10992 apple yes red 5
10299 grapes yes red 5
01929 lavander no violet 3
is it possible to join Table a and b even with the rule that:if there are null values, continue evaluating the remaining columns by skipping the null column.
select a.brand, b.boxId from a prod
inner join b box on a.fruit = b.fruit
where a.edible = b.edible and
a.color = b.color and
a.size = b.size
brand boxID
farmers 10100
fresh 19299
. . .
Yes like this
select a.brand, b.boxId
from a prod
inner join b box on a.fruit = b.fruit
where ( a.edible = b.edible OR a.edible IS NULL OR b.edible IS NULL ) and
( a.color = b.color OR a.color IS NULL OR b.color IS NULL ) and
( a.size = b.size OR a.size IS NULL OR b.size IS NULL)
Try this:
select a.brand,b.boxId from
(select a.brand,a.Fruit,a.edible,a.color,a.size from prod) as a
inner join
(select * from box) as b
on a.fruit = b.fruit
where a.color is not null and a.edible is not null and a.size is not null
and b.color is not null and b.edible is not null and b.size is not null
