Our additional documents would look like:įirst thought would be to modify our map function to include our new relation and document type. We want to get all the people working for projects of a given company. Say we now we also have an n-m relationship between projects and companies. How would we do two joins (on different variables)? Now, the question becomes on how you can do multiple joins. One for the left side and one for the right side. I guess we can get the other variants by starting two scans.
#Create a join in idatabase full
This looks good, but it essentially implements a full outer join.

You can visit the Wikipedia article for more info here (however, the entry is not graphical). Note on the OUTER JOIN that the inner joined records are returned first, followed by the right joined records, and then finally the left joined records (at least, that's how my Microsoft SQL Server did it this, of course, is without using any ORDER BY statement). This query will return all of the records in the left table (table A) that have a matching record in the right table (table B). This is the simplest, most understood Join and is the most common. Some may argue that 5, 6, and 7 are not really joining the two tables, but for simplicity, I will still refer to these as Joins because you use a SQL Join in each of these queries (but exclude some records with a WHERE clause). The seven Joins I will discuss are shown below:įor the sake of this article, I'll refer to 5, 6, and 7 as LEFT EXCLUDING JOIN, RIGHT EXCLUDING JOIN, and OUTER EXCLUDING JOIN, respectively. I will be excluding cross Joins and self referencing Joins. I am going to discuss seven different ways you can return data from two relational tables. So, I decided to create my own and write an article about it. Some had good diagrams but lacked completeness (they didn't have all the possible JOINs), and some were just plain terrible. I looked all over the Internet for a good graphical representation of SQL JOINs, but I couldn't find any to my liking. Things seem to make more sense as a picture.
