Sample Source Patterns¶

Setup data¶

Databricks¶

CREATE TABLE person (id INT, name STRING, age INT);
INSERT INTO person VALUES
    (100, 'John',   30),
    (200, 'Mary', NULL),
    (300, 'Mike',   80),
    (400, 'Dan' ,   50);

Pattern code¶

Databricks¶

-- 1. Comparison operator in `WHERE` clause.
SELECT * FROM person WHERE id > 200 ORDER BY id;

-- 2. Comparison and logical operators in `WHERE` clause.
SELECT * FROM person WHERE id = 200 OR id = 300 ORDER BY id;

-- 3. IS NULL expression in `WHERE` clause.
SELECT * FROM person WHERE id > 300 OR age IS NULL ORDER BY id;

-- 4. Function expression in `WHERE` clause.
SELECT * FROM person WHERE length(name) > 3 ORDER BY id;

-- 5. `BETWEEN` expression in `WHERE` clause.
SELECT * FROM person WHERE id BETWEEN 200 AND 300 ORDER BY id;

-- 6. Scalar Subquery in `WHERE` clause.
SELECT * FROM person WHERE age > (SELECT avg(age) FROM person);

-- 7. Correlated Subquery in `WHERE` clause.
SELECT * FROM person AS parent
   WHERE EXISTS (SELECT 1 FROM person AS child
                  WHERE parent.id = child.id
                    AND child.age IS NULL);
