Oracle Database JOINS INNER JOIN
Example
An INNER JOIN is a JOIN operation that allows you to specify an explicit join clause.
Syntax
TableExpression [ INNER ] JOIN TableExpression { ON booleanExpression | USING clause }
You can specify the join clause by specifying ON with a boolean expression.
The scope of expressions in the ON clause includes the current tables and any tables in outer query blocks to the current SELECT. In the following example, the ON clause refers to the current tables:
-- Join the EMP_ACT and EMPLOYEE tables
-- select all the columns from the EMP_ACT table and
-- add the employee's surname (LASTNAME) from the EMPLOYEE table
-- to each row of the result
SELECT SAMP.EMP_ACT.*, LASTNAME
FROM SAMP.EMP_ACT JOIN SAMP.EMPLOYEE
ON EMP_ACT.EMPNO = EMPLOYEE.EMPNO
-- Join the EMPLOYEE and DEPARTMENT tables,
-- select the employee number (EMPNO),
-- employee surname (LASTNAME),
-- department number (WORKDEPT in the EMPLOYEE table and DEPTNO in the
-- DEPARTMENT table)
-- and department name (DEPTNAME)
-- of all employees who were born (BIRTHDATE) earlier than 1930.
SELECT EMPNO, LASTNAME, WORKDEPT, DEPTNAME
FROM SAMP.EMPLOYEE JOIN SAMP.DEPARTMENT
ON WORKDEPT = DEPTNO
AND YEAR(BIRTHDATE) < 1930
-- Another example of "generating" new data values,
-- using a query which selects from a VALUES clause (which is an
-- alternate form of a fullselect).
-- This query shows how a table can be derived called "X"
-- having 2 columns "R1" and "R2" and 1 row of data
SELECT *
FROM (VALUES (3, 4), (1, 5), (2, 6))
AS VALUESTABLE1(C1, C2)
JOIN (VALUES (3, 2), (1, 2),
(0, 3)) AS VALUESTABLE2(c1, c2)
ON VALUESTABLE1.c1 = VALUESTABLE2.c1
-- This results in:
-- C1 |C2 |C1 |2
-- -----------------------------------------------
-- 3 |4 |3 |2
-- 1 |5 |1 |2
-- List every department with the employee number and
-- last name of the manager
SELECT DEPTNO, DEPTNAME, EMPNO, LASTNAME
FROM DEPARTMENT INNER JOIN EMPLOYEE
ON MGRNO = EMPNO
-- List every employee number and last name
-- with the employee number and last name of their manager
SELECT E.EMPNO, E.LASTNAME, M.EMPNO, M.LASTNAME
FROM EMPLOYEE E INNER JOIN
DEPARTMENT INNER JOIN EMPLOYEE M
ON MGRNO = M.EMPNO
ON E.WORKDEPT = DEPTNO
