Whats exactly is wrong with the following query?

select

        nx,
        nx1
    from
        test t
            join test1 t1 on t.dx=t1.dx1
;

 

 

​Please don't top-post.

 

test t join test1 t1 -- this is the default inner join, your query returns no records for the given data.

Look at the above documentation (7.2.1.1) on full join

https://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.3/static/queries-table-expressions.html

 

select coalesce(dx,dx1)as dt, n, nx1

from test full join test1 on dx=dx1;
