join关键字的作用是将多个表按一定的条件联合起来,从而可以实现从多个表中获取数据。
join的常见用法有join、left join 、right join 、full join。
on 和 where 的区别:
on 表示在 join 前进行条件筛选,然后再进行join操作。
where 表示在join操作完了再做过滤。
示例:
现在有两张表t1 和 t2,表里面的数据如下:
> select * from t1;
+------+------+
| id | age |
+------+------+
| 1 | 20 |
| 2 | 21 |
| 3 | 22 |
| 4 | 23 |
| 5 | 24 |
+------+------+
> select * from t2;
+------+------+
| id | name |
+------+------+
| 1 | Lee |
| 2 | Bob |
| 3 | Kate |
| 4 | Tony |
+------+------+
思考一下下面的sql 执行后的结果,有几条数据:
1)select * from t1 left join t2 on t1.id=t2.id and t1.id=1;
2)select * from t1 left join t2 on t1.id=t2.id and t2.id=1;
3)select * from t1 left join t2 on t1.id=t2.id where t1.id=1;
4)select * from t1 left join t2 on t1.id=t2.id where t2.id=1;

答案是:5、5、1、1
实际输出结果如下:
1) select * from t1 left join t2 on t1.id=t2.id and t1.id=1;
+------+------+------+------+
| id | age | id | name |
+------+------+------+------+
| 1 | 20 | 1 | Lee |
| 2 | 21 | NULL | NULL |
| 3 | 22 | NULL | NULL |
| 4 | 23 | NULL | NULL |
| 5 | 24 | NULL | NULL |
+------+------+------+------+
2) select * from t1 left join t2 on t1.id=t2.id and t2.id=1;
+------+------+------+------+
| id | age | id | name |
+------+------+------+------+
| 1 | 20 | 1 | Lee |
| 2 | 21 | NULL | NULL |
| 3 | 22 | NULL | NULL |
| 4 | 23 | NULL | NULL |
| 5 | 24 | NULL | NULL |
+------+------+------+------+
3) select * from t1 left join t2 on t1.id=t2.id where t1.id=1;
+------+------+------+------+
| id | age | id | name |
+------+------+------+------+
| 1 | 20 | 1 | Lee |
+------+------+------+------+
4) select * from t1 left join t2 on t1.id=t2.id where t2.id=1;
+------+------+------+------+
| id | age | id | name |
+------+------+------+------+
| 1 | 20 | 1 | Lee |
+------+------+------+------+
注意一点:
left join 时,左表的数据是完整的,on 条件会筛选需要关联的列,无论能否关联上,左表都是完整的。比如下面的例子:
> select * from t1 left join t2 on t1.id=t2.id and t2.id=10;
+------+------+------+------+
| id | age | id | name |
+------+------+------+------+
| 1 | 20 | NULL | NULL |
| 2 | 21 | NULL | NULL |
| 3 | 22 | NULL | NULL |
| 4 | 23 | NULL | NULL |
| 5 | 24 | NULL | NULL |
+------+------+------+------+
同理,right join 也是一样的。
