say have query like:
select a.column1, a.column2, b.column3 table1 left join table2 b on (a.column1=b.column3 or a.column2=b.column3) is same concatenation of 2 queries:
select a.column1, a.column2, b.column3 table1 left join table2 b on (a.column1=b.column3) select a.column1, a.column2, b.column3 table1 left join table2 b on (a.column2=b.column3) or there differences in final table?
these 2 queries have same result set:
select distinct a.column1, a.column2, b.column3 table1 left join table2 b on a.column1 = b.column3 or a.column2 = b.column3; and:
select a.column1, a.column2, b.column3 table1 left join table2 b on a.column1 = b.column3 union -- note: not union select a.column1, a.column2, b.column3 table1 left join table2 b on a.column2 = b.column3 ; without distinct , union, have sorts of duplicates might arise (or not) between queries.
