Hello! postgreSQL lovers,
Master table tmaster has 2 childern tables tbook and thobby.
CREATE TABLE tmaster (id TEXT,name TEXT);
CREATE TABLE tbook (id TEXT, book TEXT);
CREATE TABLE thobby (id TEXT, hobby TEXT);
INSERT INTO tmaster VALUES ('m1','John');
INSERT INTO tmaster VALUES ('m2','Mary');
INSERT INTO tbook VALUES ('m1','book1');
INSERT INTO tbook VALUES ('m1','book2');
INSERT INTO thobby VALUES ('m1','hobby1');
INSERT INTO thobby VALUES ('m1','hobby2');
I want to list John's books and hobbies in one table:
id | name | book | hobby
----+------+--------+-------m1 | John | book1 |m1 | John | book2 |m1 | John | |hobby1m1 | John |
|hobby2
or
id | name | book | hobby
----+------+--------+-------m1 | John | |hobby1m1 | John | |hobby2m1 | John | book1 |m1 | John | book2
|
or
id | name | book | hobby
----+------+--------+-------m1 | John | |hobby1m1 | John | book1 |m1 | John | |hobby2m1 | John | book2
|
etc.
What is the SQL to make any one of above resuts?
Even better, if possible, "sort" book and hobby column descendently to
fill up null columns:
id | name | book | hobby
----+------+--------+-------m1 | John | book1 |hobby1m1 | John | book2 |hobby2
What is the better-have SQL to produce the last furnished list?
TIA
