In this video we go through a SQL refresher with a focus on JOIN and GROUP BY. This example using the yellow_taxi_data and zones is helpful for the homework set.
SQL Code difference between using JOIN vs. WHERE
SELECT
tpep_pickup_datetime,
tpep_dropoff_datetime,
total_amount,
CONCAT(zpu."Borough", ' / ', zpu."Zone") AS "pick_up_loc",
CONCAT(zdo."Borough", ' / ', zdo."Zone") AS "drop_off_loc"
FROM
yellow_taxi_data t JOIN zones zpu
ON t."PULocationID"=zpu."LocationID"
JOIN zones zdo
ON t."DOLocationID"=zdo."LocationID"
LIMIT 100;
SELECT
tpep_pickup_datetime,
tpep_dropoff_datetime,
total_amount,
CONCAT(zpu."Borough", ' / ', zpu."Zone") AS "pick_up_loc",
CONCAT(zdo."Borough", ' / ', zdo."Zone") AS "drop_off_loc"
FROM
yellow_taxi_data t,
zones zpu,
zones zdo
WHERE
t."PULocationID"=zpu."LocationID" AND
t."DOLocationID"=zdo."LocationID"
LIMIT 100;
GROUP BY 1 column vs. multi-column
SELECT
CAST(tpep_dropoff_datetime AS DATE) as "day",
COUNT(1) as "count",
MAX(total_amount),
MAX(passenger_count)
FROM
yellow_taxi_data t
GROUP BY
CAST(tpep_dropoff_datetime AS DATE)
ORDER BY "count" DESC;
SELECT
CAST(tpep_dropoff_datetime AS DATE) as "day",
"DOLocationID",
COUNT(1) as "count",
MAX(total_amount),
MAX(passenger_count)
FROM
yellow_taxi_data t
GROUP BY
1, 2
ORDER BY "day" ASC, "DOLocationID" ASC;
