Querying Multiple Tables with Joins

This post is lab exercise I did on Querying with Transact-SQL edx course.

In this lab, I will use joins to combine data from multiple tables in the AdventureWorksLT database.

Generate Invoice Reports

• Retrieve customer orders
  As an initial step towards generating the invoice report, write a query that returns the company name from the SalesLT.Customer table, and the sales order ID and total due from the SalesLT.SalesOrderHeader table.

SELECT c.CompanyName, oh.SalesOrderID, oh.TotalDue
FROM SalesLT.Customer AS c
JOIN SalesLT.SalesOrderHeader AS oh
ON oh.CustomerID = c.CustomerID;

• Retrieve customer orders with addresses
  Extend your customer orders query to include the Main Office address for each customer, including the full street address, city, state or province, postal code, and country or region
  Tip: Note that each customer can have multiple addressees in the SalesLT.Address table, so the database developer has created the SalesLT.CustomerAddress table to enable a many-to-many relationship between customers and addresses. Your query will need to include both of these tables, and should filter the join to SalesLT.CustomerAddress so that only Main Office addresses are included.

SELECT c.CompanyName, a.AddressLine1, ISNULL(a.AddressLine2, '') AS AddressLine2,
a.City, a.StateProvince, a.PostalCode, a.CountryRegion, oh.SalesOrderID, oh.TotalDue
FROM SalesLT.Customer AS c
JOIN SalesLT.SalesOrderHeader AS oh
ON oh.CustomerID = c.CustomerID
JOIN SalesLT.CustomerAddress AS ca
ON c.CustomerID = ca.CustomerID AND AddressType = 'Main Office'
JOIN SalesLT.Address AS a
ON ca.AddressID = a.AddressID;

Retrieve Sales Data

• Retrieve a list of all customers and their orders
  The sales manager wants a list of all customer companies and their contacts (first name and last name), showing the sales order ID and total due for each order they have placed. Customers who have not placed any orders should be included at the bottom of the list with NULL values for the order ID and total due.

SELECT c.CompanyName, c.FirstName, c.LastName, oh.SalesOrderID, oh.TotalDue
FROM SalesLT.Customer AS c
LEFT JOIN SalesLT.SalesOrderHeader AS oh
ON c.CustomerID = oh.CustomerID
ORDER BY oh.SalesOrderID DESC;

• Retrieve a list of customers with no address
  A sales employee has noticed that Adventure Works does not have address information for all customers. You must write a query that returns a list of customer IDs, company names, contact names (first name and last name), and phone numbers for customers with no address stored in the database.

SELECT c.CompanyName, c.FirstName, c.LastName, c.Phone
FROM SalesLT.Customer AS c
LEFT JOIN SalesLT.CustomerAddress AS ca
ON c.CustomerID = ca.CustomerID
WHERE ca.AddressID IS NULL;

• Retrieve a list of customers and products without orders
  Some customers have never placed orders, and some products have never been ordered. Create a query that returns a column of customer IDs for customers who have never placed an order, and a column of product IDs for products that have never been ordered. Each row with a customer ID should have a NULL product ID (because the customer has never ordered a product) and each row with a product ID should have a NULL customer ID (because the product has never been ordered by a customer).

SELECT c.CustomerID, p.ProductID
FROM SalesLT.Customer AS c
FULL JOIN SalesLT.SalesOrderHeader AS oh
ON c.CustomerID = oh.CustomerID
FULL JOIN SalesLT.SalesOrderDetail AS od
ON od.SalesOrderID = oh.SalesOrderID
FULL JOIN SalesLT.Product AS p
ON p.ProductID = od.ProductID
WHERE oh.SalesOrderID IS NULL
ORDER BY ProductID, CustomerID;
