I have two tables:
financials_standalone ('fin_id', 'attr_id', 'year', 'value');
financials_consolidated ('fin_id', 'attr_id', 'year', 'value');
('fin_id', 'attr_id', 'year') is the unique key
financials_consolidated table will have data in addition to the financials_standalone.
Eg:
financials_standalone
| fin_id | attr_id | year | value |
---------------------------------------
| fin01 | pe | 2016 | 33.23 |
| fin02 | pe | 2016 | 12.52 |
financials_consolidated
| fin_id | attr_id | year | value |
---------------------------------------
| fin02 | pe | 2016 | 20.41 |
Now I want to combine both the tables as a view :- if the row exists in consolidated then pick that row otherwise pick the row from the financials_standalone table.
So the final view output should be like this
financials_data_view
| fin_id | attr_id | year | value |
---------------------------------------
| fin01 | pe | 2016 | 33.23 |
| fin02 | pe | 2016 | 20.41 |
I am not able to find solution with case-when or left outer join. How to get this view output?
Left join financials_standalone
on financials_consolidated
to get the value from financials_consolidated
in all cases, and use coalesce() function to-return the first non-null value from the 2 tables. Then do a union to get those records from financials_consolidated
to get records from that table that do not exists in the other one. If this cannot be the case, then you do not need the union.
select fs.fin_id, fs.attr_id, fs.year, coalesce(fc.value, fs.value) as val
from `financials_standalone` fs
left join `financials_consolidated` fc
on fs.fin_id=fc.fin_id
and fs.attr_id=fc.attr_id
and fs.year=fc.year
union
select fc.fin_id, fc.attr_id, fc.year, fc.value
from `financials_consolidated` fc
left join `financials_standalone` fs
on fs.fin_id=fc.fin_id
and fs.attr_id=fc.attr_id
and fs.year=fc.year
where fs.fin_id is null
