# Example INTERSECT queries
<a name="example_intersect_query"></a>

Compare the following example with the first UNION example. The only difference between the two examples is the set operator that is used, but the results are very different. Only one of the rows is the same: 

```
235494 |    23875 |    8771
```

 This is the only row in the limited result of 5 rows that was found in both tables.

```
select listid, sellerid, eventid from listing
intersect
select listid, sellerid, eventid from sales

listid | sellerid | eventid
--------+----------+---------
235494 |    23875 |    8771
235482 |     1067 |    2667
235479 |     1589 |    7303
235476 |    15550 |     793
235475 |    22306 |    7848
```

The following query finds events (for which tickets were sold) that occurred at venues in both New York City and Los Angeles in March. The difference between the two query expressions is the constraint on the VENUECITY column.

```
select distinct eventname from event, sales, venue
where event.eventid=sales.eventid and event.venueid=venue.venueid
and date_part(month,starttime)=3 and venuecity='Los Angeles'
intersect
select distinct eventname from event, sales, venue
where event.eventid=sales.eventid and event.venueid=venue.venueid
and date_part(month,starttime)=3 and venuecity='New York City';
