πŸš€ SQL SET Operators: The Quick Guide πŸš€
Stop trying to solve everything with JOINs! If you need to combine data vertically, these are your best friends:
πŸ”Ή UNION Combines results and removes duplicates. Perfect for a clean, unique list. 🧹
πŸ”Ή UNION ALL Combines everything, including duplicates. It's much faster because the DB doesn't have to scan for duplicates! ⚑️
πŸ”Ή INTERSECT Finds the common ground. Only returns rows that exist in both datasets. 🀝
πŸ”Ή EXCEPT / MINUS The "difference" finder. Shows what's in your first query but NOT in the second. 🚫

πŸ’‘ Pro-Tip for Interviews: Always remember: For SET operators to work, your queries must have the same number of columns and matching data types!

Ever tried applying Pythagoras theorem in SQL? πŸ˜„

You’re given triangle sides stored row-wise and your task is to identify which CombinationID forms a right-angled triangle.

πŸ“ Rule to apply:
HΒ² = PΒ² + BΒ² (longest side matters!)
