SQL求差集

数据库环境：SQL SERVER 2008R2

Sql Server有提供求集合差集的函数——EXCEPT。先看看EXCEPT的用法，

{ <query_specification> | ( <query_exPRession> ) } { EXCEPT }{ <query_specification> | ( <query_expression> ) }从 EXCEPT 操作数左边的查询中返回右边的查询未返回的所有非重复值。上面是摘自MSDN对EXCEPT函数的用法介绍。在这里，我们的要求有点特别，集合B中存在多少条集合A的记录，那么，在集合A中剔除集合B中对应的记录条数。假如A表有数据如下：id　　　　name1　　　　  a1　　　　  a2　　　　  bB表数据如下：id　　　　name1　　　　  a3　　　　　c根据需求，B表中有一条记录和A表有重复，因此，在A表中，把该重复记录的一条去掉，结果数据如下：id　　　　name1　　　　  a2　　　　  b需求已经清晰了，现在开始来实现实现的方法是：分别给a表和b表的重复记录编号，只要在b表中存在和a表编号、id、name一样的记录，即在a表进行过滤。先准备基础数据

WITH    a          AS ( SELECT   1 AS id ,                        'a' AS NAME               UNION ALL               SELECT   1 AS id ,                        'a' AS NAME               UNION ALL               SELECT   2 AS id ,                        'b' AS NAME               UNION ALL               SELECT   3 AS id ,                        'c' AS NAME               UNION ALL               SELECT   3 AS id ,                        'c' AS NAME               UNION ALL               SELECT   1 AS id ,                        'a' AS NAME               UNION ALL               SELECT   4 AS id ,                        'd' AS NAME             ),        b          AS ( SELECT   3 AS id ,                        'c' AS NAME               UNION ALL               SELECT   1 AS id ,                        'a' AS NAME               UNION ALL               SELECT   2 AS id ,                        'b' AS NAME               UNION ALL               SELECT   3 AS id ,                        'c' AS NAME               UNION ALL               SELECT   1 AS id ,                        'a' AS NAME             )

分别来看一下a表和b表的数据

第一种方式，用NOT EXISTS来实现

SELECT  id ,            NAME    FROM    ( SELECT    id ,                        ROW_NUMBER() OVER ( PARTITION BY id, NAME ORDER BY id ) AS nid ,                        NAME              FROM      a            ) a    WHERE   NOT EXISTS ( SELECT NULL                         FROM   ( SELECT    id ,                                            ROW_NUMBER() OVER ( PARTITION BY id,                                                              NAME ORDER BY id ) AS nid ,                                            NAME                                  FROM      b                                ) b                         WHERE  b.nid = a.nid                                AND b.id = a.id                                AND b.NAME = a.NAME )

第二种实现方式，通过EXCEPT来实现

SELECT  id ,            NAME    FROM    ( SELECT    id ,                        ROW_NUMBER() OVER ( PARTITION BY id, NAME ORDER BY id ) AS nid ,                        NAME              FROM      a              EXCEPT              SELECT    id ,                        ROW_NUMBER() OVER ( PARTITION BY id, NAME ORDER BY id ) AS nid ,                        NAME              FROM      b            ) a

方法1和方法2本质上是一样的思路，只不过写法不同而已。
