ON worker.manager_id != manager.employee_id
WHERE worker.hire_date < manager.hire_date
SELECT worker.last_name, worker.hire_date, manager.last_name, manager.hire_date
FROM employees worker JOIN employees worker

WHERE worker.hire_date < worker.hire_date
For which of the following tables will all the values be retrieved even if there is no match in the other?

LEFT OUTER JOIN departments

department
Which SELECT statement implements a self join?
SELECT worker.employee_id, manager.manager_id
FROM employees worker JOIN employees manager
ON manager.employee_id = worker.manager_id;
(*)
SELECT worker.employee_id, manager.manager_id
FROM employees worker JOIN departments manager
ON worker.employee_id = manager.manager_id;
SELECT worker.employee_id, manager.manager_id
FROM employees worker JOIN managers manager
ON worker.employee_id = manager.manager_id;
SELECT worker.employee_id, manager.manager_id
FROM employees worker
NATURAL JOIN employees manager;
You can do nonequi-joins with ANSI-Syntax. True or False?

Evaluate this SELECT statement:
SELECT patient.lname || ', ' || patient.fname as "Patient", physician.lname || ', ' || physician.fname as
"Physician", admission.admission
FROM patient
JOIN physician
ON (physician.physician_id = admission.physician_id)
JOIN admission
ON (patient.patient_id = admission.patient_id);Which clause generates an error?

ON (physician.physician_id = admission.physician_id); (*)
ON (patient.patient_id = admission.patient_id)
JOIN physician
