3 .Derived Tables
● Derived tables are subqueries in FROM clauses
SELECT … FROM t1, (subquery) AS derived, t2 …
● Two execution methods
– Materialized
– Merged into the outer query

5 .LATERAL Derived Tables
● Can refer to other tables in the same FROM clause
SELECT … FROM t1, LATERAL (SELECT … FROM … WHERE … = t1.col) AS derived, t2 …
– Only to tables that appear before it in the FROM clause
– Including other derived tables
● Two execution methods
– Materialized
– Merged into the outer query
● SQL feature T491

7 .Implicitly LATERAL Table Functions
● Table functions are implicitly LATERAL
– Not allowed to explicitly specify LATERAL
● MySQL has one table function: JSON_TABLE
SELECT people.*
FROM t1,
JSON_TABLE(t1.json_col, '$.people[*]' COLUMNS (
name VARCHAR(40) PATH '$.name',
address VARCHAR(100) PATH '$.address'))
AS people;

8 .LATERAL Without Lateral References
● Declared as LATERAL, but contains no lateral references
SELECT … FROM t1, LATERAL (SELECT 1) AS derived, t2 …
– Optimized by MySQL as if LATERAL was not present
– No performance penalty
● Don't add LATERAL to all your derived tables!
– Won't get any warning when accidentaly using a lateral reference
– Confusing the next person to read your query

10 .Example Setup
CREATE TABLE cities (
city_name VARCHAR(40),
population BIGINT,
country_name VARCHAR(40)
);
INSERT INTO cities VALUES
('Shanghai', 24183300, 'China'),
('Beijing', 20794000, 'China'),
…
;

11 .The Largest City of Each Country, Option 1
SELECT dt.population, dt.city_name, c.country_name
FROM
(SELECT DISTINCT country_name FROM cities) AS c,
LATERAL (
SELECT city_name, population
FROM cities
WHERE cities.country_name = c.country_name
ORDER BY population DESC
LIMIT 1
) AS dt;
Copyright © 2019 Oracle and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved. 11
12 .The Largest City of Each Country, Option 2
SELECT dt.pop, dt2.city_name, dt.country_name
FROM
(
SELECT country_name, MAX(population) AS pop
FROM cities
GROUP BY country_name
) AS dt,
LATERAL (
SELECT city_name
FROM cities
WHERE cities.country_name = dt.country_name
AND cities.population = dt.pop
) AS dt2;
Copyright © 2019 Oracle and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved. 12
13 .The Largest City of Each Country, No LATERAL!
SELECT dt.pop, cities.city_name, dt.country_name
FROM
(
SELECT country_name, MAX(population) AS pop
FROM cities
GROUP BY country_name
) AS dt
JOIN cities
ON cities.country_name = dt.country_name
AND cities.population = dt.pop;
Copyright © 2019 Oracle and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved. 13
14 .The Largest City of Each Country, No LATERAL!
SELECT dt.pop, cities.city_name, dt.country_name
FROM
(
SELECT country_name, MAX(population) AS pop
FROM cities
GROUP BY country_name
) AS dt
JOIN cities
ON cities.country_name = dt.country_name
AND cities.population = dt.pop;
This is how MySQL rewrites
the previous query after
merging the lateral derived
table into the outer query.
