SQL Inner Join

INNER JOIN in SQL is the most common and important type of join which allows users to access matching data from two or more tables. When the join condition is met between the tables, then it returns all the common rows from them.

The Venn diagram of INNER JOIN is shown in the following picture. The shaded region of the Venn diagram shows the intersection values of two tables:

Example:

SELECT Column_Name1, Column_Name2, ….., Column_NameN 

FROM Table_Name1 INNER JOIN Table_Name2 

ON Table_Name1.Column_Name = Table_Name2.Column_Name; 

Let’s take two tables named Employee_Details and Department to understand the concept of INNER JOIN. The Employee_Details table contains Emp_ID, Emp_Name, Dept_ID, and Emp_Salary columns. The Department table contains Dept_Id and Dept_Name columns.

We can check the data of Employee_Details and Department table using the following two different queries:

SELECT * FROM Department; 

 Output:

SELECT * FROM Employee_Details

 Output:

The following query joins these above two tables using INNER JOIN in structured Query Language:

SELECT  

Employee_Details.Emp_Id,  

Employee_Details.Emp_Name,

Department.Dept_Name,

Employee_Details.Emp_Salary,  

FROM Department INNER JOIN Employee_Details  

ON  

Department.Dept_ID = Employee_Details.Dept_ID;

Explanation of above INNER JOIN query:

This query joins the Employee_Details and Department table and accesses the records from both the tables where Department.Dept_Id = Employee_Details.DeptId.

It only fetches the details of those employees from both the tables whose Dept_Id in the Employee table matches with the Dept_Id of the Department table.

If the Dept_Id is NULL or does not match, then that row will not show in the output.
