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)
