Sample Data
Table Measurement
PersonId Weight Height
1 133 5.7
3 123 5.4
4 98 5.5
5 155 5.9
6 158 6.1

Table Patient

Gender
from Measurement, Patient
where Measurement.PersonId = Patient.PersonId;
quit;

Results:
PersonId Height Name Gender
1 5.7 Mike J. m
3 5.4 Trish L. f

RIGHT JOIN, LEFT JOIN, and FULL JOIN

proc sql;

title " Performing Right Join";

select p.PersonId as Patient_PersonId ,
m.PersonId as Measurement_PersonId,
Height
from learn.Patient as p right join
learn.Measurement as m
on p.PersonId eq m.PersonId;

title " Performing Left Join";

 select p.PersonId as Patient_PersonId ,
m.PersonId as Measurement_PersonId,
Height
from learn.Patient as p left join
learn.Measurement as m
on p.PersonId eq m.PersonId;

title " Performing Full Join";

select p.PersonId as Patient_PersonId ,
m.PersonId as Measurement_PersonId,
Height
from learn.Patient as p full join
learn.Measurement as m
on p.PersonId eq m.PersonId;

quit;
