SQL | Join (Inner, Left, Right and Full

Joins)
A SQL Join statement is used to combine data or rows from two or more tables based on
a common field between them. Different types of Joins are:
 INNER JOIN
 LEFT JOIN
 RIGHT JOIN
 FULL JOIN
Consider the two tables below:
Student
StudentCourse

The simplest Join is INNER JOIN.


1. INNER JOIN: The INNER JOIN keyword selects all rows from both the tables
as long as the condition satisfies. This keyword will create the result-set by
combining all rows from both the tables where the condition satisfies i.e value of the
common field will be same.
Syntax:
SELECT table1.column1,table1.column2,table2.column1,....
FROM table1
INNER JOIN table2
ON table1.matching_column = table2.matching_column;

table1: First table.


table2: Second table
matching_column: Column common to both the tables.
Note: We can also write JOIN instead of INNER JOIN. JOIN is same as INNER
JOIN.
Example Queries(INNER JOIN)
 This query will show the names and age of students enrolled in different courses.
 SELECT StudentCourse.COURSE_ID, Student.NAME, Student.AGE
 FROM Student
 INNER JOIN StudentCourse
 ON Student.ROLL_NO = StudentCourse.ROLL_NO;
Output:

2. LEFT JOIN: This join returns all the rows of the table on the left side of the join and
matching rows for the table on the right side of join. The rows for which there is no
matching row on right side, the result-set will contain null. LEFT JOIN is also known
as LEFT OUTER JOIN. Syntax:
SELECT table1.column1,table1.column2,table2.column1,....
FROM table1
LEFT JOIN table2
ON table1.matching_column = table2.matching_column;
table1: First table.
table2: Second table
matching_column: Column common to both the tables.
Note: We can also use LEFT OUTER JOIN instead of LEFT JOIN, both are same.

Example Queries(LEFT JOIN):


SELECT Student.NAME,StudentCourse.COURSE_ID
FROM Student
LEFT JOIN StudentCourse
ON StudentCourse.ROLL_NO = Student.ROLL_NO;
Output:
3. RIGHT JOIN: RIGHT JOIN is similar to LEFT JOIN. This join returns all the rows
of the table on the right side of the join and matching rows for the table on the left
side of join. The rows for which there is no matching row on left side, the result-set
will contain null. RIGHT JOIN is also known as RIGHT OUTER JOIN.Syntax:
SELECT table1.column1,table1.column2,table2.column1,....
FROM table1
RIGHT JOIN table2
ON table1.matching_column = table2.matching_column;
table1: First table.
table2: Second table
matching_column: Column common to both the tables.
Note: We can also use RIGHT OUTER JOIN instead of RIGHT JOIN, both are same.

Example Queries(RIGHT JOIN):


SELECT Student.NAME,StudentCourse.COURSE_ID
FROM Student
RIGHT JOIN StudentCourse
ON StudentCourse.ROLL_NO = Student.ROLL_NO;
Output:

4. FULL JOIN: FULL JOIN creates the result-set by combining result of both LEFT
JOIN and RIGHT JOIN. The result-set will contain all the rows from both the tables.
The rows for which there is no matching, the result-set will
contain NULL values.Syntax:
SELECT table1.column1,table1.column2,table2.column1,....
FROM table1
FULL JOIN table2
ON table1.matching_column = table2.matching_column;

table1: First table.


table2: Second table
matching_column: Column common to both the tables.
Example Queries(FULL JOIN):

SELECT Student.NAME,StudentCourse.COURSE_ID
FROM Student
FULL JOIN StudentCourse
ON StudentCourse.ROLL_NO = Student.ROLL_NO;
Output:
