Here is an example of a PostgreSQL LEFT OUTER JOIN: SELECT suppliers.supplier_id, suppliers.supplier_name, orders.order_date FROM suppliers LEFT OUTER JOIN orders ON suppliers.supplier_id=orders.supplier_id The PostgreSQL LEFT OUTER JOIN would return the all records from table1 and only those records from table2 that intersect with table1. In this visual diagram, the PostgreSQL LEFT OUTER JOIN returns the shaded area: The syntax for the PostgreSQL LEFT OUTER JOIN is: SELECT columns FROM table1 LEFT OUTER JOIN table2 ON lumn=lumn Visual Illustration This type of join returns all rows from the LEFT-hand table specified in the ON condition and only those rows from the other table where the joined fields are equal (join condition is met). Old SyntaxĪs a final note, it is worth mentioning that the PostgreSQL INNER JOIN example above could be rewritten using the older implicit syntax as follows (but we still recommend using the INNER JOIN keyword syntax): SELECT suppliers.supplier_id, suppliers.supplier_name, orders.order_date FROM suppliers, orders WHERE suppliers.supplier_id=orders.supplier_id LEFT OUTER JOINĪnother type of join is called a PostgreSQL LEFT OUTER JOIN. The row for 500127 (order_id) from the orders table would be omitted, since the supplier_id 10004 does not exist in the suppliers table. The rows for Microsoft and NVIDIA from the supplier table would be omitted, since the supplier_id's 1003 do not exist in both tables. Our result set would look like this: supplier_id If we run the PostgreSQL SELECT statement (that contains an INNER JOIN) below: SELECT suppliers.supplier_id, suppliers.supplier_name, orders.order_date FROM suppliers INNER JOIN orders ON suppliers.supplier_id=orders.supplier_id We have another table called orders with three fields (order_id, supplier_id, and order_date). It contains the following data: supplier_id We have a table called suppliers with two fields (supplier_id and supplier_name). Let's look at some data to explain how the INNER JOINS work: This PostgreSQL INNER JOIN example would return all rows from the suppliers and orders tables where there is a matching supplier_id value in both the suppliers and orders tables. Here is an example of a PostgreSQL INNER JOIN: SELECT suppliers.supplier_id, suppliers.supplier_name, orders.order_date FROM suppliers INNER JOIN orders ON suppliers.supplier_id=orders.supplier_id The PostgreSQL INNER JOIN would return the records where table1 and table2 intersect. In this visual diagram, the PostgreSQL INNER JOIN returns the shaded area:
The syntax for the INNER JOIN in PostgreSQL is: SELECT columns FROM table1 INNER JOIN table2 ON lumn=lumn Visual Illustration PostgreSQL INNER JOINS return all rows from multiple tables where the join condition is met. INNER JOIN (simple join)Ĭhances are, you've already written a statement that uses a PostgreSQL INNER JOIN. So let's discuss PostgreSQL JOIN syntax, look at visual illustrations of PostgreSQL JOINS, and explore JOIN examples.

PostgreSQL LEFT OUTER JOIN (or sometimes called LEFT JOIN).PostgreSQL INNER JOIN (or sometimes called simple join).
There are different types of PostgreSQL joins: A PostgreSQL JOIN is performed whenever two or more tables are joined in a SQL statement. PostgreSQL JOINS are used to retrieve data from multiple tables.
