MySQL - Self Join

To perform Self Join through a JavaScript program, we need to execute the SQL query using the query() function of mysql2 library as follows −

sql = "SELECT a.tutorial_id, a.tutorial_title, a.tutorial_author, b.tutorial_count FROM tutorials_tbl a, tcount_tbl b 
WHERE a.tutorial_author = b.tutorial_author";
con.query(sql);  

To perform Self Join through a Java program, we need to execute the SQL query using the JDBC function executeQuery() as follows −

String sql = "SELECT a.tutorial_id, a.tutorial_title, a.tutorial_author, b.tutorial_count FROM tutorials_tbl a, tcount_tbl b 
WHERE a.tutorial_author = b.tutorial_author";
statement.executeQuery(sql);

To perform Self Join through a python program, we need to execute the SQL query using the execute() function of the MySQL Connector/Python as follows −

self_join_query = "SELECT a.ID, b.NAME as EARNS_HIGHER, a.NAME as EARNS_LESS, a.SALARY as LOWER_SALARY
FROM CUSTOMERS a, CUSTOMERS b WHERE a.SALARY < b.SALARY"
cursorObj.execute(self_join_query)

var mysql = require("mysql2");
var con = mysql.createConnection({
  host: "localhost",
  user: "root",
  password: "password",
}); //Connecting to MySQL

con.connect(function (err) {
  if (err) throw err;
  //   console.log("Connected successfully...!");
  //   console.log("--------------------------");
  sql = "USE TUTORIALS";
  con.query(sql);

  //Self Join
  sql = "SELECT a.tutorial_id, a.tutorial_title, a.tutorial_author, b.tutorial_count FROM tutorials_tbl a, tcount_tbl b 
  WHERE a.tutorial_author = b.tutorial_author";
  con.query(sql, function (err, result) {
    if (err) throw err;
    console.log(result);
  });
});      

Output

The output produced is as follows −

[
  {
    tutorial_id: 1,
    tutorial_title: 'Learn PHP',
    tutorial_author: 'John Poul',
    tutorial_count: 2
  }
]
