SQL Inner Join Keyword

The document explains SQL INNER JOIN, providing an example to illustrate how it works. It shows two tables, "Persons" and "Orders", that are joined on a common column, P_Id. The INNER JOIN returns rows from both tables where there is a match between P_Id values. This allows listing persons who have related orders information by joining the tables on the matching column. The result set displays the person's name and order number for rows with matching P_Id values between the tables.

SQL INNER JOIN Keyword

SELECT column_name(s)
FROM table_name1
INNER JOIN table_name2
ON table_name1.column_name=table_name2.column_name

PS: INNER JOIN is the same as JOIN.

SQL INNER JOIN Example


The "Persons" table:

P_Id LastName FirstName Address City


1 Hansen Ola Timoteivn 10 Sandnes
2 Svendson Tove Borgvn 23 Sandnes
3 Pettersen Kari Storgt 20 Stavanger

The "Orders" table:

O_Id OrderNo P_Id


1 77895 3
2 44678 3
3 22456 1
4 24562 1
5 34764 15

Now we want to list all the persons with any orders.

We use the following SELECT statement:

SELECT Persons.LastName, Persons.FirstName, Orders.OrderNo


FROM Persons
INNER JOIN Orders
ON Persons.P_Id=Orders.P_Id
ORDER BY Persons.LastName

The result-set will look like this:

LastName FirstName OrderNo


Hansen Ola 22456
Hansen Ola 24562
Pettersen Kari 77895
Pettersen Kari 44678

The INNER JOIN keyword return rows when there is at least one match in both tables. If there are rows in "Persons"
that do not have matches in "Orders", those rows will NOT be listed.
