JOINS

JOINS
• SQL joins are used to combine rows from two or more tables
based on a common field between them
• In SQL, there are various types of joins:

1) Natural Join
• Inner Join
• Equi Join
2) Outer Join
• Left Outer Join
• Right Outer Join
• Full Outer Join
• Tables are joined on columns that have same datatype and size
 Inner Join
• It is a natural join used for retrieving records from more than two
tables having common data
• Inner join can be Equi join if it is having equal condition only
Syntax:

Select column 1, column 2…., column N from Table 1 Inner Join

Table 2 ON Table1.Column1= Table2.Column2 Where condition

List out the employee number, name and department names

in which they belong?
Select e.emp_no, e.name, d.dept_name from Employee e
INNER JOIN Dept d ON d. dept_no= e. dept_no ;

Select e.emp_no, e.name, d.dept_name from Employee e,

Dept d where d. dept_no= e. dept_ no ;
List out those employee details along with their department
name whose name starts with S

Select e.emp_no, e.name, d.dept_name from Employee e

INNER JOIN Dept d ON d. dept_no= e. dept_no where e.name
LIKE ‘S%’ ORDER BY e. name ;

Select e.emp_no, e.name, d.dept_name from Employee e,

Dept d where d. dept_no = e. dept_no and e.name LIKE ‘S%’
ORDER BY e. name ;

 Left Outer Join
• The LEFT JOIN keyword returns all rows from the left table
(table1), with the matching rows in the right table (table2).
• The result is NULL in the right side when there is no match.

 Full Outer Join
• It does both of those operations, padding tuples from the left
relation that did not match any from the right relation
• As well as tuples from the right relation that did not match any
from the left relation and adding them to the result of the join.
