  • 0

I have two tables payroll_advance and payroll_advrtn,and i supposed to do full outer join to get my require result.But,I’m sure full outer join isn’t possible in mysql and also i know that full outer join is possible by using the union.But i don’t know how can i do join at the following query.

My payroll_advance table produce the following result.

SELECT _id,_tid,_dt,sum(_amount) as _advance FROM payroll_advance WHERE YEAR( _dt )=YEAR(CURDATE()) AND MONTH(_dt) = MONTH(CURDATE()) group by _tid;

| _id | _tid  | _dt        | _advance|

|  25 | T01   | 2012-04-11 |    2500 |
+-----+-------+------------+---------+

And payroll_advrtn gives the following result.

SELECT _id,_tid,_dt,sum(_amount) as _advrtn FROM payroll_advrtn WHERE YEAR( _dt ) = YEAR(CURDATE()) AND MONTH(_dt) = MONTH(CURDATE()) group by _tid;
+-----+-------+------------+---------+
| _id | _tid  | _dt        | _advrtn |
+-----+-------+------------+---------+
|   9 | RKT02 | 2012-04-10 |    2500 |
|   8 | RKT04 | 2012-04-20 |     150 |
+-----+-------+------------+---------+

But i want something like the following result by combining the above two result.

 +------+-------+-------+------------+----------+---------+
| _id  | _tid  | _tid  | _dt        | _advance | _advrtn |
+------+-------+-------+------------+----------+---------+

|   15 | RKT10 | NULL  | 2012-04-17 |     1313 |    NULL |

| NULL | NULL  | RKT02 | NULL       |     NULL |    2500 |

    In order to do the FULL OUTER JOIN you can do the LEFT OUTER JOIN and UNION with RIGHT OUTER JOIN (provided that MySql still does not support FULL OUTER JOIN):

    select * from A as a
    left outer join B as b on a.col = b.col
union
select * from A as a
    right outer join B as b on a.col = b.col

    Note that you can use subqueries for A and B – which should work with your queries. In your case:

    select * from (SELECT * FROM t1) as a
    left outer join (SELECT * FROM t2) as b on a._tid = b._tid
union
select * from (SELECT * FROM t1) as a
    right outer join (SELECT * FROM t2) as b on a._tid = b._tid

    With result being equal to (provided that I didn’t my a mistake in copy-pasting your data):

    +------+-------+------------+----------+------+-------+------------+----------+
| _id  | _tid  | _dt        | _advance | _id  | _tid  | _dt        | _advartn |
