En join-sætning bruges til at forespørge data på tværs af flere relaterede tabeller.
Nu hvor vi har skabt en relation mellem to tabeller, kan vi nu bruge begge tabeller inden for en enkelt SELECT erklæring for at returnere relaterede data. Vi kan gøre dette ved at bruge en JOIN erklæring.
Vi vil forespørge i vores tabeller ved at bruge de tre vigtigste jointyper:
- Indre tilslutning
- Venstre ydre forbindelse
- Cross Join
Det indre led
En indre joinforbindelse er en joinforbindelse, hvor værdierne i de kolonner, der forbindes, sammenlignes ved hjælp af en sammenligningsoperator. I SQL-standarden kan indre joinforbindelser angives i enten FROM eller WHERE klausul.
For eksempel kunne vi køre en forespørgsel for at hente en liste over alle kunstnere og deres album:
SELECT ArtistName, AlbumName FROM Artists AS a INNER JOIN Albums AS b ON a.ArtistId = b.ArtistId ORDER BY ArtistName;
Resultat:
ArtistName AlbumName ------------ -------------------- Iron Maiden Killers Iron Maiden Powerslave Iron Maiden Somewhere in Time Joe Satriani Surfing with the Ali Joe Satriani Flying in a Blue Dre Joe Satriani Black Swans and Worm Mr Percival Out of the Loop Primus Suck on This Primus Pork Soda Primus Sailing the Seas of Strapping Yo Heavy as a Really He The Wiggles Yummy Yummy The Wiggles Big Red Car
Du har måske bemærket, at ovenstående kolonner ikke er helt brede nok til vores nye data (nogle af dataene bliver afkortet). For at vise alle data bliver vi nødt til at øge kolonnestørrelserne igen.
Noget som .width 20 50 burde være tilstrækkeligt for nu.
Vi kunne også bruge en WHERE klausul for at indsnævre resultaterne til en bestemt kunstner:
SELECT b.AlbumName FROM Artists AS a INNER JOIN Albums AS b ON a.ArtistId = b.ArtistId WHERE a.ArtistName = 'The Wiggles';
AlbumName -------------------- Yummy Yummy Big Red Car
Men WHERE kunne bare nemt have været en AND for at udvide ON klausul:
SELECT b.AlbumName FROM Artists AS a INNER JOIN Albums AS b ON a.ArtistId = b.ArtistId AND a.ArtistName = 'The Wiggles';
The Left Outer Join
En ydre joinforbindelse returnerer alle rækker fra mindst én af tabellerne eller visningerne nævnt i FROM klausul, så længe disse rækker opfylder en hvilken som helst WHERE eller HAVING søgebetingelser.
Med venstre ydre join, hentes alle rækker fra den refererede tabel til venstre.
Så i det følgende eksempel er alle rækker fra Kunstnerne tabellen returneres, uanset om der er en relateret post i Album tabel.
SELECT a.ArtistName, b.AlbumName FROM Artists AS a LEFT OUTER JOIN Albums AS b ON a.ArtistId = b.ArtistId;
Resultat:
ArtistName AlbumName -------------------- -------------------------------------------------- Joe Satriani Black Swans and Wormhole Wizards Joe Satriani Flying in a Blue Dream Joe Satriani Surfing with the Alien Steve Vai The Tea Party Noiseworks Wayne Jury Mr Percival Out of the Loop Iron Maiden Killers Iron Maiden Powerslave Iron Maiden Somewhere in Time Atmasphere Ian Moss Magnum Strapping Young Lad Heavy as a Really Heavy Thing Slayer Primus Pork Soda Primus Sailing the Seas of Cheese Primus Suck on This Pat Metheny Frank Gambale Frank Zappa The Wiggles Big Red Car The Wiggles Yummy Yummy
Korset slutter sig til
En krydsforbindelse (der ikke har en WHERE). klausul) resulterer i det kartesiske produkt af de tabeller, der er involveret i joinforbindelsen. Derfor er størrelsen af resultatsættet antallet af rækker i den første tabel ganget med antallet af rækker i den anden tabel.
Vær forsigtig med krydsforbindelsen. Det kan returnere ekstremt store resultatsæt!
SELECT ArtistName, AlbumName FROM Artists AS a CROSS JOIN Albums AS b ORDER BY ArtistName;
Resultat (du bliver sandsynligvis nødt til at rulle):

Men hvis en WHERE sætning tilføjes, opfører krydssammenføjningen sig som en indre sammenføjning.
Andre jointyper
SQL-standarden inkluderer også RIGHT OUTER JOIN og FULL OUTER JOIN SQLite understøtter dog ikke disse jointyper.
