Syntax:: SELECT Table1.column1, Table2.column2... FROM Table1 INNER JOIN Table2

The document describes different types of joins in SQL: inner join, left join, right join, full join, self join, and cartesian join. It provides the syntax for each join type and explains that inner joins return rows where the join condition is satisfied, left joins return all rows from the left table even if no match on the right, right joins do the opposite, full joins return all rows from both tables, self joins join a table to itself, and cartesian joins return the cartesian product of all rows in the joined tables.

The most frequently used and important of the joins is the INNER JOIN.

They are also referred


to as an EQUIJOIN.
The INNER JOIN creates a new result table by combining column values of two tables (table1
and table2) based upon the join-predicate. The query compares each row of table1 with each row
of table2 to find all pairs of rows which satisfy the join-predicate. When the join-predicate is
satisfied, column values for each matched pair of rows of A and B are combined into a result
row.

Syntax:
The basic syntax of INNER JOIN is as follows:
SELECT table1.column1, table2.column2...
FROM table1
INNER JOIN table2
ON table1.common_field = table2.common_field;

2.

The SQL LEFT JOIN returns all rows from the left table, even if there are no matches in the
right table. This means that if the ON clause matches 0 (zero) records in right table, the join will
still return a row in the result, but with NULL in each column from right table.
This means that a left join returns all the values from the left table, plus matched values from the
right table or NULL in case of no matching join predicate.
Syntax:

The basic syntax of LEFT JOIN is as follows:


SELECT table1.column1, table2.column2...
FROM table1
LEFT JOIN table2
ON table1.common_field = table2.common_field;

3.

The SQL RIGHT JOIN returns all rows from the right table, even if there are no matches in the
left table. This means that if the ON clause matches 0 (zero) records in left table, the join will
still return a row in the result, but with NULL in each column from left table.

This means that a right join returns all the values from the right table, plus matched values from
the left table or NULL in case of no matching join predicate.
Syntax:

The basic syntax of RIGHT JOIN is as follows:


SELECT table1.column1, table2.column2...
FROM table1
RIGHT JOIN table2
ON table1.common_field = table2.common_field;

4.

The SQL FULL JOIN combines the results of both left and right outer joins.
The joined table will contain all records from both tables, and fill in NULLs for missing matches
on either side.
Syntax:

The basic syntax of FULL JOIN is as follows:


SELECT table1.column1, table2.column2...
FROM table1
FULL JOIN table2
ON table1.common_field = table2.common_field;

5.

The SQL SELF JOIN is used to join a table to itself as if the table were two tables, temporarily
renaming at least one table in the SQL statement.
Syntax:

The basic syntax of SELF JOIN is as follows:


SELECT a.column_name, b.column_name...
FROM table1 a, table1 b
WHERE a.common_field = b.common_field;

Here, WHERE clause could be any given expression based on your requirement.

The CARTESIAN JOIN or CROSS JOIN returns the Cartesian product of the sets of records
from the two or more joined tables. Thus, it equates to an inner join where the join-condition
always evaluates to True or where the join-condition is absent from the statement.
Syntax:

The basic syntax of CARTESIAN JOIN or CROSS JOIN is as follows:


SELECT table1.column1, table2.column2...
FROM table1, table2 [, table3 ]
