Table: Friendship

+---------------+---------+
| Column Name   | Type    |
+---------------+---------+
| user1_id      | int     |
| user2_id      | int     |

(user1_id, user2_id) is the primary key (combination of columns with unique values) for this table.
Each row of this table indicates that there is a friendship relation between user1_id and user2_id.

+-------------+---------+
(user_id, page_id) is the primary key (combination of columns with unique values) for this table.

Write a solution to recommend pages to the user with user_id = 1 using the pages that your friends liked. It should not recommend pages you already liked.

Return result table in any order without duplicates.

The result format is in the following example.

Explanation: 
User one is friend with users 2, 3, 4 and 6.
Suggested pages are 23 from user 2, 24 from user 3, 56 from user 3 and 33 from user 6.
Page 77 is suggested from both user 2 and user 3.
Page 88 is not suggested because user 1 already likes it.

Solutions

Solution 1: Union + Equi-Join + Subquery

First, we query all users who are friends with user_id = 1 and record them in the T table. Then, we query all pages that users in the T table like, and finally exclude the pages that user_id = 1 likes.

  • # Write your MySQL query statement below
    WITH
        T AS (
            SELECT user1_id AS user_id FROM Friendship WHERE user2_id = 1
            UNION
            SELECT user2_id AS user_id FROM Friendship WHERE user1_id = 1
        )
    SELECT DISTINCT page_id AS recommended_page
    FROM
        T
        JOIN Likes USING (user_id)
    WHERE page_id NOT IN (SELECT page_id FROM Likes WHERE user_id = 1);
