Left join is short for left Outer Join. Left join is outer by default.
Inner join
The inner join logical operator returns each row that matches the first (top) input and the second (bottom) Input join. This is the same effect as querying multiple tables using select statements, so it is rarely used;
Outer Join returns each row that matches the join of the first (top) input and the second (bottom) input. It also returns any rows in the first input without matching rows in the second input. The key is the following sentence, which returns more. In general, left join is left Outer Join.
I. Let's take a look at some of the simplest examples.
Example
Table
Aid adate
1 A1
2 A2
3 A3
Tableb
Bid bdate
1 B1
2 B2
4 B4
Two tables A and B are connected. fields with the same ID must be retrieved.
Select * fromInner joinB On A. Aid = B. Bid this is to retrieve only the matched data.
In this case, the following information is taken:
1 A1 B1
2 A2 B2
Then left join refers:
Select * fromLeft joinB On A. Aid = B. Bid
First, retrieve all the data in Table A, and then add the data that matches table A and table B.
In this case, the following information is taken:
1 A1 B1
2 A2 B2
3 A3 null characters
There are alsoRight join
This means that all data in Table B is retrieved first, and then the data matching A and B is added.
In this case, the following information is taken:
1 A1 B1
2 A2 B2
4 blank characters B4
Left join or left Outer Join.
The result set of the left Outer Join includes all rows in the left table specified in the left outer clause, not just the rows matched by the join column. If a row in the left table does not match a row in the right table, all the selected list columns in the right table in the row of the associated result set are null.
