SQL INNER JOIN
SQL INNER JOIN clause is used to select data from 2 (or more) tables, at least one
match in both tables.
SQL INNER JOIN Clause Syntax
SELECT Table1.Column1, Table1.Column2, ... ,
Table2.Column1, Table2.Column2, ...
FROM Table1
INNER JOIN Table2
ON Table1.ColumnName = Table2.ColumnName
Note: SQL INNER JOIN is the default type of SQL JOIN. “JOIN” = “INNER JOIN”
SQL INNER JOIN Clause Example
Table: Employees
EmployeeId FirstName LastName Department Salary
203 Mazojys Fxoj Finance 78000
204 Jozzh Lnanyo Finance 45800
205 Syllauu Dfaafk Finance 57000
206 Gecrrcc Srlkrt Finance 62000
Table: Tickets
TicketID TicketNo EmployeeId
1 2349 203
2 2400 204
3 2438 205
Select all the employees with any tickets:
SELECT Employees.EmployeeId
, Employees.FirstName
, Employees.LastName
, Tickets.TicketNo
FROM Employees
INNER JOIN Tickets
ON Employees.EmployeeId = Tickets.EmployeeId
The result will look like:
EmployeeId FirstName LastName TicketNo
203 Mazojys Fxoj 2349
204 Jozzh Lnanyo 2400
205 Syllauu Dfaafk 2438
Note: The employee whose EmployeeId is 206 doesn’t have any records matched in the
table Tickets, so this employee will not in the result.
As mentioned above, “JOIN” = “INNER JOIN”, so, the following statement has the same
result:
SELECT Employees.EmployeeId
, Employees.FirstName
, Employees.LastName
, Tickets.TicketNo
FROM Employees
JOIN Tickets
ON Employees.EmployeeId = Tickets.EmployeeId
In most database systems, we can even write it shorter:
SELECT Employees.EmployeeId
, Employees.FirstName
, Employees.LastName
, Tickets.TicketNo
FROM Employees, Tickets
WHERE Employees.EmployeeId = Tickets.EmployeeId
