mysql内连接和外连接的区别：内连接会取出连接表中匹配到的数据，匹配不到的不保留；而外连接会取出连接表中匹配到的数据，匹配不到的也会保留，其值为NULL。
本教程操作环境：windows7系统、mysql8版本、Dell G3电脑。
区别
- 内连接（inner join）：取出连接表中匹配到的数据，匹配不到的不保留
- 外连接（outer join）：取出连接表中匹配到的数据，匹配不到的也会保留，其值为NULL
示例表
users表
mysql> select * from users; +----+-------+ | id | name | +----+-------+ | 1 | john | | 2 | May | | 3 | Lucy | | 4 | Jack | | 5 | James | +----+-------+ 5 rows in set (0.00 sec)
topics表
mysql> select * from topics; +----+---------------------------------------+---------+ | id | title | user_id | +----+---------------------------------------+---------+ | 1 | Hello world | 1 | | 2 | PHP is the best language in the world | 2 | | 3 | Laravel artist | 6 | +----+---------------------------------------+---------+ 3 rows in set (0.00 sec)
内连接(inner join)
- 示例
mysql> select * from users as u inner join topics as t on u.id=t.user_id; +----+------+----+---------------------------------------+---------+ | id | name | id | title | user_id | +----+------+----+---------------------------------------+---------+ | 1 | john | 1 | Hello world | 1 | | 2 | May | 2 | PHP is the best language in the world | 2 | +----+------+----+---------------------------------------+---------+ 2 rows in set (0.00 sec)
inner可以省略，as是给表起别名，也可以省略
mysql> select * from users u join topics t on u.id=t.user_id; +----+------+----+---------------------------------------+---------+ | id | name | id | title | user_id | +----+------+----+---------------------------------------+---------+ | 1 | john | 1 | Hello world | 1 | | 2 | May | 2 | PHP is the best language in the world | 2 | +----+------+----+---------------------------------------+---------+ 2 rows in set (0.00 sec)
以上两句等价于
mysql> select * from users,topics where users.id=topics.user_id; +----+------+----+---------------------------------------+---------+ | id | name | id | title | user_id | +----+------+----+---------------------------------------+---------+ | 1 | john | 1 | Hello world | 1 | | 2 | May | 2 | PHP is the best language in the world | 2 | +----+------+----+---------------------------------------+---------+ 2 rows in set (0.00 sec)
外连接(outer join)
- 左外连接（left outer join）：以左边的表为主表
- 右外连接（right outer join）：以右边的表为主表
以某一个表为主表，进行关联查询，不管能不能关联的上，主表的数据都会保留，关联不上的以NULL显示
通俗解释就是：先拿出主表的所有数据，然后到关联的那张表去找有没有符合关联条件的数据，如果有，正常显示，如果没有，显示为NULL
示例
mysql> select * from users as u left join topics as t on u.id=t.user_id; +----+-------+------+---------------------------------------+---------+ | id | name | id | title | user_id | +----+-------+------+---------------------------------------+---------+ | 1 | john | 1 | Hello world | 1 | | 2 | May | 2 | PHP is the best language in the world | 2 | | 3 | Lucy | NULL | NULL | NULL | | 4 | Jack | NULL | NULL | NULL | | 5 | James | NULL | NULL | NULL | +----+-------+------+---------------------------------------+---------+ 5 rows in set (0.00 sec)
等价于以下，只是字段的位置不一样
mysql> select * from topics as t right join users as u on u.id=t.user_id; +------+---------------------------------------+---------+----+-------+ | id | title | user_id | id | name | +------+---------------------------------------+---------+----+-------+ | 1 | Hello world | 1 | 1 | john | | 2 | PHP is the best language in the world | 2 | 2 | May | | NULL | NULL | NULL | 3 | Lucy | | NULL | NULL | NULL | 4 | Jack | | NULL | NULL | NULL | 5 | James | +------+---------------------------------------+---------+----+-------+ 5 rows in set (0.00 sec)
左外连接和右外连接是相对的，主要就是以哪个表为主表去进行关联
