Business Scenario: A company has a set of loans which it needs to have evaluated by a third party. The company has 1000 loan records in their database. They have received back 975 records. The goal is to research the returned loan population from the third party evaluation company.

Individual SQL Count Query Example:

select count(loan_num) from original_loan_pop

select count(loan_num) from returned_loan_pop

SQL Straight Join Query: This business related query checks to see which records are in both populations. In the business scenario, the query returns 970 records. This means of the 1000 loans sent to be evaluated, only 970 loans were sent back correctly from the original population.

SQL Left Join Query with Criteria: This query looks to see which loans are in the original table, but are not in the returned table. The query in this example returns 30 loans.  This mean of the 1000 loans sent to be evaluated, 30 loans from the original population were not included.

SQL Left Join Query Example:

SQL Right Join Query with Criteria: This query looks to see which loans are in the returned table table, but are not in the original table. The query in this example returns 5 loans.  The results of this query mean the company who provided back the evaluated loan information some how added 5 loans that were not even included in the original 100o loan data set.

SQL Right Join Query Example:

Of the original 1000 loans only 970 were returned correctly, with 30 loans missing. More concerning, there were 5 loans returned which did not even exist in the companies original loan set.
