SQL JOIN Notes

SQL JOIN is used to combine rows from two or more tables based on a related column.

Types of Joins:

1. INNER JOIN - Only matching rows from both tables

2. LEFT JOIN - All rows from left table + matched rows from right

3. RIGHT JOIN - All rows from right table + matched rows from left

4. FULL JOIN - All rows from both tables (not in MySQL directly)

5. CROSS JOIN - All combinations (Cartesian product)

Basic Syntax:

SELECT table1.column1, table2.column2

FROM table1

JOIN table2 ON table1.common_column = table2.common_column;

Example:

Tables:

students(id, name)

marks(student_id, score)

INNER JOIN:

SELECT students.name, marks.score

FROM students

INNER JOIN marks ON students.id = marks.student_id;

LEFT JOIN:
SELECT students.name, marks.score

FROM students

LEFT JOIN marks ON students.id = marks.student_id;

Alias Tip:

SELECT s.name, m.score

FROM students s

JOIN marks m ON s.id = m.student_id;
