SQL Cheat Sheet: JOIN statements

Joins

Topic Syntax Description Example

The CROSS JOIN is used to
generate a paired
Cross SELECT column_name(s) FROM
combination of each row SELECT DEPT_ID_DEP, LOCT_ID FROM
Join table1 CROSS JOIN table2; DEPARTMENTS CROSS JOIN LOCATIONS;
of the first table with each
row of the second table.
SELECT column_name(s) FROM You can use an inner join select E.F_NAME,E.L_NAME,
table1 INNER JOIN table2 in a SELECT statement to JH.START_DATE from EMPLOYEES as E
Inner ON table1.column_name = retrieve only the rows that INNER JOIN JOB_HISTORY as JH on
Join table2.column_name; WHERE satisfy the join conditions E.EMP_ID=JH.EMPL_ID where E.DEP_ID
condition;
on every specified table. ='5';
SELECT column_name(s) FROM The LEFT OUTER JOIN will select
Left table1 LEFT OUTER JOIN return all records from the E.EMP_ID,E.L_NAME,E.DEP_ID,D.DEP_NAME
table2 ON
Outer table1.column_name =
left side table and the from EMPLOYEES AS E LEFT OUTER JOIN
Join table2.column_name WHERE matching records from the DEPARTMENTS AS D ON
E.DEP_ID=D.DEPT_ID_DEP;
condition; right table.
SELECT column_name(s) FROM The RIGHT OUTER JOIN select
Right table1 RIGHT OUTER JOIN returns all records from E.EMP_ID,E.L_NAME,E.DEP_ID,D.DEP_NAME
table2 ON
Outer table1.column_name =
the right table, and the from EMPLOYEES AS E RIGHT OUTER JOIN
Join table2.column_name WHERE matching records from the DEPARTMENTS AS D ON
E.DEP_ID=D.DEPT_ID_DEP;
condition; left table.
The FULL OUTER JOIN
SELECT column_name(s) FROM clause results in the
Full table1 FULL OUTER JOIN inclusion of rows from select E.F_NAME,E.L_NAME,D.DEP_NAME
table2 ON from EMPLOYEES AS E FULL OUTER JOIN
Outer table1.column_name =
two tables. If a value is DEPARTMENTS AS D ON
Join table2.column_name WHERE missing when rows are E.DEP_ID=D.DEPT_ID_DEP;
condition; joined, that value is null in
the result table.
SELECT column_name(s) FROM A self join is regular join SELECT B.* FROM EMPLOYEES A JOIN
but it can be used to joined EMPLOYEES
B ON A.MANAGER_ID =
Self Join table1 T1, table1 T2 WHERE
B.MANAGER_ID WHERE A.EMP_ID =
condition; with itself. 'E1001';
