1459. Rectangles Area----同列数据相减

Table: Points

+---------------+---------+
| Column Name   | Type    |
+---------------+---------+
| id            | int     |
| x_value       | int     |
| y_value       | int     |
+---------------+---------+
id is the primary key for this table.
Each point is represented as a 2D Dimensional (x_value, y_value).

Write an SQL query to report of all possible rectangles which can be formed by any two points of the table. 

Each row in the result contains three columns (p1, p2, area) where:

• p1 and p2 are the id of two opposite corners of a rectangle and p1 < p2.
• Area of this rectangle is represented by the column area.

Report the query in descending order by area in case of tie in ascending order by p1 and p2.

Points table:
+----------+-------------+-------------+
| id       | x_value     | y_value     |
+----------+-------------+-------------+
| 1        | 2           | 8           |
| 2        | 4           | 7           |
| 3        | 2           | 10          |
+----------+-------------+-------------+

Result table:
+----------+-------------+-------------+
| p1       | p2          | area        |
+----------+-------------+-------------+
| 2        | 3           | 6           |
| 1        | 2           | 2           |
+----------+-------------+-------------+

p1 should be less than p2 and area greater than 0.
p1 = 1 and p2 = 2, has an area equal to |2-4| * |8-7| = 2.
p1 = 2 and p2 = 3, has an area equal to |4-2| * |7-10| = 6.
p1 = 1 and p2 = 3 It's not possible because the rectangle has an area equal to 0.

同列数据相减，应当通过join，使同列的数据成为同行数据中的新字段，才能相减。

本例中，id互不相等的数据都可以join，所以join条件是 p1.ID != p2.ID

select p1.id p1, p2.id p2,
abs(p1.x_value - p2.x_value)*abs(p1.y_value - p2.y_value) as area
from points p1 join points p2
on p1.id < p2.id 
where p1.x_value != p2.x_value 
and p1.y_value != p2.y_value
order by area desc, p1, p2
