How can we write MySQL query for cross joins with the help of keyword JOIN?


MySQL query for cross joins can also be written with the help of keyword JOIN. To understand it, we are taking the example of two tables named tbl_1 and tbl_2 which are having following data:

mysql> Select * from tbl_1;
+----+--------+
| Id | Name   |
+----+--------+
| 1  | Gaurav |
| 2  | Rahul  |
| 3  | Raman  |
| 4  | Aarav  |
+----+--------+
4 rows in set (0.00 sec)

mysql> Select * from tbl_2;
+----+---------+
| Id | Name    |
+----+---------+
| A  | Aarav   |
| B  | Mohan   |
| C  | Jai     |
| D  | Harshit |
+----+---------+
4 rows in set (0.00 sec)

Now, the query below will use keyword JOIN to cross join the tables:

mysql> Select tbl_1.id,tbl_2.id FROM tbl_1 JOIN tbl_2;
+----+----+
| id | id |
+----+----+
| 1  | A  |
| 2  | A  |
| 3  | A  |
| 4  | A  |
| 1  | B  |
| 2  | B  |
| 3  | B  |
| 4  | B  |
| 1  | C  |
| 2  | C  |
| 3  | C  |
| 4  | C  |
| 1  | D  |
| 2  | D  |
| 3  | D  |
| 4  | D  |
+----+----+
16 rows in set (0.00 sec)
