How to filter SQL results in a has-many-through relation

Question

Assuming I have the tables student, club, and student_club:

student {
    id
    name
}
club {
    id
    name
}
stude         


        

Answer 1

Another CTE. It looks clean, but it will probably generate the same plan as a groupby in a normal subquery.

WITH two AS (
    SELECT student_id FROM tmp.student_club
    WHERE club_id IN (30,50)
    GROUP BY student_id
    HAVING COUNT(*) > 1
    )
SELECT st.* FROM tmp.student st
JOIN two ON (two.student_id=st.id)
    ;

For those who want to test, a copy of my generate testdata thingy:

DROP SCHEMA tmp CASCADE;
CREATE SCHEMA tmp;

CREATE TABLE tmp.student
    ( id INTEGER NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY
    , sname VARCHAR
    );

CREATE TABLE tmp.club
    ( id INTEGER NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY
    , cname VARCHAR
    );

CREATE TABLE tmp.student_club
    ( student_id INTEGER NOT NULL  REFERENCES tmp.student(id)
    , club_id INTEGER NOT NULL  REFERENCES tmp.club(id)
    );

INSERT INTO tmp.student(id)
    SELECT generate_series(1,1000)
    ;

INSERT INTO tmp.club(id)
    SELECT generate_series(1,100)
    ;

INSERT INTO tmp.student_club(student_id,club_id)
    SELECT st.id  , cl.id
    FROM tmp.student st, tmp.club cl
    ;

DELETE FROM tmp.student_club
WHERE random() < 0.8
    ;

UPDATE tmp.student SET sname = 'Student#' || id::text ;
UPDATE tmp.club SET cname = 'Soccer' WHERE id = 30;
UPDATE tmp.club SET cname = 'Baseball' WHERE id = 50;

ALTER TABLE tmp.student_club
    ADD PRIMARY KEY (student_id,club_id)
    ;
