Finding Matching Records in TEST_FILE Using Distinct Values from TEST_FILE1
To find all records from TEST_FILE where at least one of the columns matches a value present in TEST_FILE1, you can use a similar approach. However, we need to first calculate the number of distinct values for each column in TEST_FILE1. We’ll create a temporary table that contains these counts and then join it with TEST_FILE to get our desired result. Here’s how you could do it: -- Get the distinct values of each column from TEST_FILE1 WITH DISTINCT_COLS AS ( SELECT col1, COUNT(DISTINCT col1) FROM TEST_FILE1 GROUP BY col1 UNION ALL SELECT col2, COUNT(DISTINCT col2) FROM TEST_FILE1 GROUP BY col2 UNION ALL SELECT col4, COUNT(DISTINCT col4) FROM TEST_FILE1 GROUP BY col4 UNION ALL SELECT col5, COUNT(DISTINCT col5) FROM TEST_FILE1 GROUP BY col5 ), -- Get the distinct values for each column in all rows from TEST_FILE1 DISTINCT_COLS_ALL AS ( SELECT 'col1' as col_name, col1, count(*) as cnt FROM TEST_FILE1 UNION ALL SELECT 'col2' as col_name, col2, count(*) as cnt FROM TEST_FILE1 UNION ALL SELECT 'col4' as col_name, col4, count(*) as cnt FROM TEST_FILE1 UNION ALL SELECT 'col5' as col_name, col5, count(*) as cnt FROM TEST_FILE1 ) -- Get all records from TEST_FILE where at least one column matches a value present in TEST_FILE1 SELECT DISTINCT t1.
