medium📝 Debug Q14 of 15
PostgreSQL - Joins in PostgreSQL
Identify the error in this INNER JOIN query:
SELECT * FROM orders INNER JOIN customers ON orders.customer_id = customers.id WHERE orders.date > '2023-01-01'
AMissing table alias causing ambiguity.
BWHERE clause cannot be used with INNER JOIN.
CNo error; query is valid and will run correctly.
DIncorrect join condition syntax; should use USING instead of ON.
Step-by-Step Solution
Solution:
  1. Step 1: Check JOIN syntax and WHERE clause

    The INNER JOIN uses ON with a valid condition. The WHERE clause filters rows after the join, which is allowed.
  2. Step 2: Verify if any syntax or semantic errors exist

    There is no ambiguity or syntax error. Aliases are optional. USING is an alternative but not required.
  3. Final Answer:

    No error; query is valid and will run correctly. -> Option C
  4. Quick Check:

    INNER JOIN with ON and WHERE is valid [OK]
Quick Trick: WHERE filters after JOIN; no syntax error here [OK]
Common Mistakes:
  • Thinking WHERE cannot be used with JOIN
  • Confusing USING and ON as mandatory
  • Assuming aliases are always required
