PostgreSQL：跨多个列计算唯一性（其他选择旁边）

Question

A simple SQL statement in PostgreSQL:

select class_offerings.semester_code as SC, class_offerings.class_code as CC,
class_offerings.class_name as CN, class_offerings.teacher_name as TN, 
count(distinct class_enrollment.semester_code, 
class_enrollment.class_code) as num_enrolled, --wrong
class_enrollment.maximum_capacity as max_enrollment 
from class_offerings natural join class_enrollment;

PostgreSQL doesn't support this syntax. What should I do instead? Expected result:

SC | CC | CN | TN | num_enrolled | max_enrollment

Answer 1

Never use natural join . It is an abomination, because it depends on columns having the same name. It doesn't even use properly declared foreign key relationships.

Table aliases make the query easier to write and to read. Perhaps you intend:

select o.semester_code as SC, o.class_code as CC, o.class_name as CN, o.teacher_name as TN, 
       count(*) as num_enrolled, --wrong
from class_offerings o join
     class_enrollment e
     on c.? = e.?
group by o.semester_code, o.class_code, o.class_name, o.teacher_name;

Put the columns for the join in the on clause where the ? s are.
