• (Full) Outer Join
• Cross Join

Inner
Join • Inner join produces
only the set of
records that match in
both Table A and
Table B
• Most commonly
used, best
understood join

SELECT * FROM TableA INNER JOIN TableB ON


TableA.PK = TableB.PK
• This is the same as doing
SELECT * FROM TableA, TableB WHERE TableA.PK =
TableB.PK
Natural Join
• A NATURAL join is just an inner equi-join where the join is
implicitly created using any matching columns between the
two tables
• Example:
• SELECT * FROM TableA NATURAL JOIN TableB
• Natural Join in SQL joins two tables based on the same
attribute name and datatypes.
• In Natural Join, The resulting table will contain all the
attributes of both the tables but keep only one copy of
each common column
Left Outer
Join
• Left outer join
produces a complete
set of records from
Table A, with the
matching records
(where available) in
Table B. If there is no
match, the right side
will contain null.

• SELECT * FROM TableA LEFT OUTER JOIN


TableB
ON TableA.PK = TableB.PK
Right Outer
Join
• Right outer join
produces a complete
set of records from
Table B, with the
matching records
(where available) in
Table A. If there is no
match, the left side
will contain null.

• SELECT * FROM TableA RIGHT OUTER JOIN


TableB ON TableA.PK = TableB.PK
Full Outer
Join
• Full outer join
produces the set of
all records in Table A
and Table B, with
matching records
from both sides
where available. If
there is no match,
the missing side will
contain null.

• SELECT * FROM TableA FULL OUTER JOIN TableB ON TableA.PK
= TableB.PK
Full Outer Join in
MySQL
• MySQL doesn’t have FULL OUTER JOIN
• Simulate using UNION, LEFT and RIGHT JOINs
• SELECT * FROM TableA LEFT JOIN
TableB ON TableA.PK = TableB.PK
UNION
SELECT * FROM TableA RIGHT JOIN TableB
ON TableA.PK = TableB.PK
Cross
Join
• A cross join is a Cartesian Product join – it is
every record in Table A combined with every
record in Table B.
• It gives the same results as not using a WHERE
clause when querying two tables in MySQL
• SELECT * from TableA CROSS JOIN TableB
• SELECT * from TableA, TableB
