MySQL JOINS…

Different SQL JOINs

Before we continue with examples, we will list the types of JOIN you can use, and the differences between them.

  • JOIN / INNER JOIN : Return rows when there is at least one match in both tables
  • LEFT JOIN : Return all rows from the left table, even if there are no matches in the right table
  • RIGHT JOIN: Return all rows from the right table, even if there are no matches in the left table
  • FULL JOIN: Return rows when there is a match in one of the tables
