在MySQL(以5.1为例)中,表连接的语法可以参见MySQL官方手册:MySQL官方手册-JOIN

在查询中,连接的语法类似

SELECT select_expr FROM table_references


table_references(对表的引用)的定义如下(也可以看成连接表达式):(晕晕晕哈)

table_references:
    table_reference [, table_reference] ...

table_reference:
    table_factor
  | join_table

table_factor:
    tbl_name [[AS] alias] [index_hint_list]
  | table_subquery [AS] alias
  | ( table_references )
  | { OJ table_reference LEFT OUTER JOIN table_reference
        ON conditional_expr }

join_table:
    table_reference [INNER | CROSS] JOIN table_factor [join_condition]
  | table_reference STRAIGHT_JOIN table_factor
  | table_reference STRAIGHT_JOIN table_factor ON conditional_expr
  | table_reference {LEFT|RIGHT} [OUTER] JOIN table_reference join_condition
  | table_reference NATURAL [{LEFT|RIGHT} [OUTER]] JOIN table_factor

join_condition:
    ON conditional_expr
  | USING (column_list)

index_hint_list:
    index_hint [, index_hint] ...

index_hint:
    USE {INDEX|KEY}
      [{FOR {JOIN|ORDER BY|GROUP BY}] ([index_list])
  | IGNORE {INDEX|KEY}
      [{FOR {JOIN|ORDER BY|GROUP BY}] (index_list)
  | FORCE {INDEX|KEY}
      [{FOR {JOIN|ORDER BY|GROUP BY}] (index_list)

index_list:
    index_name [, index_name] ...


其中,table_factor是基本的表选择,而join_table是基于表的一些扩展。
下面,通过实验介绍一下表连接。
首先,假设有以下几个表

table1
id book
1 java
2 c++
3 php


table2
id author
2 zhang
3 wang
4 li


table3
author year
zhang 2003
ma 2006
liu 2011

Inner Join 内连接
将两个表中存在连接关系的字段,组成的记录集,叫做内连接。
内连接等价于

mysql> select table1.id as id,book,author from table1, table2 where table1.id=table2.id;
+------+------+--------+
| id   | book | author |
+------+------+--------+
|    2 | c++  | zhang  |
|    3 | php  | wang   |
+------+------+--------+
2 rows in set (0.00 sec)
mysql> select * from table1 inner join table2 using (id);
+------+------+--------+
| id   | book | author |
+------+------+--------+
|    2 | c++  | zhang  |
|    3 | php  | wang   |
+------+------+--------+
2 rows in set (0.00 sec)


可以看出,两者是等价的。没有Using子句的Inner Join相当于是求两个table的笛卡尔积。
Cross Join 交叉连接
在Mysql中,Cross Join可以用逗号表达式表示,例如(table1, table 2)。在Mysql中,Cross Join 和 Inner Join 是等价的,但是在标准SQL中,它们并不等价,Inner Join 用于带有on表达式的连接,反之用Cross Join。以下两个SQL语句是等价的。
Cross Join 指的是两个table的笛卡尔积。以下三句SQL是等价的。

mysql> select * from table1 inner join table2;
mysql> select * from table1 cross join table2;
mysql> select * from (table1, table2);
mysql> select * from table1 nature join table2;
结果集:
+------+------+------+--------+
| id   | book | id   | author |
+------+------+------+--------+
|    1 | java |    2 | zhang  |
|    2 | c++  |    2 | zhang  |
|    3 | php  |    2 | zhang  |
|    1 | java |    3 | wang   |
|    2 | c++  |    3 | wang   |
|    3 | php  |    3 | wang   |
|    1 | java |    4 | li     |
|    2 | c++  |    4 | li     |
|    3 | php  |    4 | li     |
+------+------+------+--------+


不难理解,下面两句SQL也是等价的。

mysql> select * from table1 left join (table2, table3) on (table2.id = table1.id and table2.author = table3.author);
mysql> select * from table1 left join (table2 cross join table3) on (table2.id = table1.id and table2.author = table3.author);
结果集:
+------+------+------+--------+--------+------+
| id   | book | id   | author | author | year |
+------+------+------+--------+--------+------+
|    1 | java | NULL | NULL   | NULL   | NULL |
|    2 | c++  |    2 | zhang  | zhang  | 2003 |
|    3 | php  | NULL | NULL   | NULL   | NULL |
+------+------+------+--------+--------+------+


Natural Join 自然连接
NATURAL [LEFT] JOIN:这个句子的作用相当于INNER JOIN,或者是在USING子句中包含了联结的表中所有公共字段的Left JOIN(左联结)。
也就是说:下面两个SQL是等价的。

mysql> select * from table1 natural join table2;
mysql> select * from table1 inner join table2 using (id);

结果集:
+------+------+--------+
| id   | book | author |
+------+------+--------+
|    2 | c++  | zhang  |
|    3 | php  | wang   |
+------+------+--------+


同时,下面两个SQL也是等价的。

mysql> select * from table1 natural left join table2;
mysql> select * from table1 left join table2 using(id);
结果集:
+------+------+--------+
| id   | book | author |
+------+------+--------+
|    1 | java | NULL   |
|    2 | c++  | zhang  |
|    3 | php  | wang   |
+------+------+--------+


Left Join 左外连接
左外连接A、B表的意思就是将表A中的全部记录和表B中字段连接形成的记录集,这里注意的是最后出来的记录集会包括表A的全部记录。
左连接表1,表二等价于右连接表二,表一。如下两个SQL是等价的:

mysql> select * from table1 left join table2 using (id);
mysql> select * from table2 right join table1 using (id);
结果集:
+------+------+--------+
| id   | book | author |
+------+------+--------+
|    1 | java | NULL   |
|    2 | c++  | zhang  |
|    3 | php  | wang   |
+------+------+--------+


Right Join 右外连接

右外连接和左外连接是类似的。为了方便数据库便于访问,推荐使用左外连接代替右外连接。

最后,讲一下Mysql表连接的一些注意事项。

1、两个表求差集的方法
如果求 左表 - 右表 的差集,使用类似下面的SQL:

SELECT left_tbl.* FROM left_tbl LEFT JOIN right_tbl ON left_tbl.id = right_tbl.id WHERE right_tbl.id IS NULL;
例如
mysql> select table1.* from table1 left join table2 using(id) where table2.id is null;
+------+------+
| id   | book |
+------+------+
|    1 | java |
+------+------+
1 row in set (0.00 sec)


2、Using子句
Using子句可以使用On子句重写。但是使用Select * 查询出的结果有差别。以下两句话是等价的:

mysql> select id, book, author from table1 join table2 using (id);
mysql> select table1.id, book, author from table1 join table2 on table1.id=table2.id;
结果集:
+------+------+--------+
| id   | book | author |
+------+------+--------+
|    2 | c++  | zhang  |
|    3 | php  | wang   |
+------+------+--------+


但是下面两个有些许不同,使用on时候,重复的部分会被输出两次。

mysql> select * from table1 join table2 using (id);
+------+------+--------+
| id   | book | author |
+------+------+--------+
|    2 | c++  | zhang  |
|    3 | php  | wang   |
+------+------+--------+
2 rows in set (0.00 sec)
mysql> select * from table1 join table2 on table1.id=table2.id;
+------+------+------+--------+
| id   | book | id   | author |
+------+------+------+--------+
|    2 | c++  |    2 | zhang  |
|    3 | php  |    3 | wang   |
+------+------+------+--------+
2 rows in set (0.00 sec)


3、Straight Join的使用
STRAIGHT_JOIN 和 JOIN相似,除了大部分情况下,在使用STRAIGHT_JOIN时候,先读右表后读左表。而在大部分情况下是先读左表的。STRAIGHT_JOIN仅用于少数情况下的表连接性能优化,比如右表记录数目明显少于左表。

4、Mysql表连接的运算顺序
在MySQL 5.1版本中,INNER JOIN, CROSS JOIN, LEFT JOIN, 和RIGHT JOIN 比逗号表达式具有更高的优先级。
因此SQL1被解析成SQL3,而不是SQL2。

SQL1 : SELECT * FROM t1, t2 JOIN t3 ON (t1.i1 = t3.i3);
SQL2 : SELECT * FROM (t1, t2) JOIN t3 ON (t1.i1 = t3.i3);
SQL3 : SELECT * FROM t1, (t2 JOIN t3 ON (t1.i1 = t3.i3));


因此会报错,找不到i1列。因此以后在写这样的查询的时候,最好写明白,不要省略括号,这样能避免很多错误。

5、循环的自然连接
在MySQL 5.1版本中,SQL1等价于SQL3, 而在MySQL以前版本中,SQL1等价于SQL2。

SQL1 : SELECT ... FROM t1 NATURAL JOIN t2 NATURAL JOIN t3;
SQL2 : SELECT ... FROM t1, t2, t3 WHERE t1.b = t2.b AND t2.c = t3.c;
SQL3 : SELECT ... FROM t1, t2, t3 WHERE t1.b = t2.b AND t2.c = t3.c AND t1.a = t3.a;
