Using MySQL Left Join

Using MySQL Left Join

One of the useful clauses of MySQL is JOIN. It is used to retrieve data from two or more related tables. MySQL contains mainly two types of JOIN. One is INNER JOIN and another is OUTER JOIN. The OUTER JOIN is again divided into LEFT JOIN and RIGHT JOIN. This tutorial is mainly focused on the uses of LEFT JOIN. The LEFT JOIN is used to retrieve all records of the left-side table based on the specific conditions and those records from the right-side table where the JOIN fields of both tables match. This tutorial shows the uses of LEFT JOIN in MySQL by using various examples.

Using MySQL UNION Operator

Using MySQL UNION Operator

One of the useful MySQL operators is UNION. It is used to combine records from two or more tables by writing a single query. Each select statement used with the UNION operator must contain the same numbers of fields and the data type of each field will be the same also. It retrieves all common and uncommon fields values of all tables mentioned in the query by removing duplicate entries.
