The document explains SQL Join statements, which combine data from two or more tables based on a common field. It details four types of joins: INNER JOIN, LEFT JOIN, RIGHT JOIN, and FULL JOIN, providing syntax and example queries for each. Each join type has specific behaviors regarding how rows are returned based on matching conditions between the tables.

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:
2. SELECT table1.column1,table1.column2,table2.column1,....
3. FROM table1
4. INNER JOIN table2
5. ON table1.matching_column = table2.matching_column;
6.
7.
8. table1: First table.
9. table2: Second table
10. 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)

o This query will show the names and age of students enrolled in different courses.
o SELECT StudentCourse.COURSE_ID, Student.NAME, Student.AGE FROM
Student
o INNER JOIN StudentCourse
o ON Student.ROLL_NO = StudentCourse.ROLL_NO;

Output:

11. 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:
12. SELECT table1.column1,table1.column2,table2.column1,....
13. FROM table1
14. LEFT JOIN table2
15. ON table1.matching_column = table2.matching_column;
16.
17.
18. table1: First table.
19. table2: Second table
20. 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:

21. 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:
22. SELECT table1.column1,table1.column2,table2.column1,....
23. FROM table1
24. RIGHT JOIN table2
25. ON table1.matching_column = table2.matching_column;
26.
27.
28. table1: First table.
29. table2: Second table
30. 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:
31. 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:
32. SELECT table1.column1,table1.column2,table2.column1,....
33. FROM table1
34. FULL JOIN table2
35. ON table1.matching_column = table2.matching_column;
36.
37.
38. table1: First table.
39. table2: Second table
40. 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;
