Group & Join over associative tables

This chapter lists code examples about group & join operations over associative tables, including Group by specified category, Group by specified ranges, Conditional grouping with possible overlapped ranges, Join table on equivalence conditions, Join tables based on the first one (left join), Join records even if specified conditions are not matched (full join), Align tables on condition that specified fields in them are equal, Perform a join under non-equal conditions, Perform unconditional join (full cross join), Convert foreign key references into record fields, Convert members of a subtable into table sequence fields, and Form a wide table.

?<25

Below 25

 

2

?>=25 && ?<=30

25 to 30

 

3

?>30 && ?<=40

30 to 40

 

4

?>40 && ?<=50

40 to 50

 

5

?>50
