Mysql Join

MySQL JOINS allow retrieving data from multiple database tables by relating tables through primary and foreign keys. The main types of joins are cross joins, inner joins, and outer joins (including left and right joins). Cross joins match each row from one table to all rows of another table, while inner joins return rows that satisfy the join condition from both tables. Outer joins return all rows from one or both tables, filling missing matches with NULL values.

MySQL JOINS 

• Joins help retrieving data from two or more


database tables. 
• The tables are mutually related using primary
and foreign keys.
Type of Joins
• CROSS JOIN
• INNER JOIN
• OUTER JOINs
• LEFT JOIN
• RIGHT JOIN
Cross Join
• Cross JOIN is a simplest form of JOINs which matches each row from one
database table to all rows of another.
• Or it gives us combinations of each row of first table with all records in
second table.

• SELECT * FROM `movies` CROSS JOIN `members`


INNER JOIN
• The inner JOIN is used to return rows from both tables that satisfy the given
condition.

1.SELECT members.’first_name’, members.’last_name’ , movies.’title’ FROM


members ,movies WHERE movies.’id’ = members.’movie_id’
or
2.SELECT A.`first_name` , A.`last_name` , B.`title` FROM `members`AS A INNER JOIN
`movies` AS B ON B.`id` = A.`movie_id`
Outer JOINs
• MySQL Outer JOINs return all records matching from both
tables .
• It can detect records having no match in joined table. It
returns NULL values for records of joined table if no match is
found.

Syntax:
SELECT *FROM `members`AS A LEFT JOIN `movies` AS B ON B.`id` =
A.`movie_id`
UNION
SELECT *FROM `members`AS A RIGHT JOIN `movies` AS B ON B.`id` =
A.`movie_id`
LEFT JOIN
• Assume now you want to get titles of all movies together with names of
members who have rented them. It is clear that some movies have not
being rented by any one. We can simply use LEFT JOIN for the purpose.

• The LEFT JOIN returns all the rows from the table on the left even if no
matching rows have been found in the table on the right. 
• Example:
SELECT A.`title` , B.`first_name` , B.`last_name` FROM `movies` AS A LEFT
JOIN `members` AS B ON B.`movie_id` = A.`id`
RIGHT JOIN
• The RIGHT JOIN returns all the columns from the table on the right even if
no matching rows have been found in the table on the left.
• Where no matches have been found in the table on the left, NULL is
returned.

• Example:
SELECT A.`first_name` , A.`last_name`, B.`title` FROM `members` AS A RIGHT JOIN `movies`
AS B ON B.`id` = A.`movie_id`
Why should we use joins?
