连表查询

例如：按照 department_id 查询 employees(员工表)和 departments(部门表) 的信息。
方式一
SELECT … FROM … WHERE
SELECT e.last_name,e.department_id,d.department_name FROM employees e,departments d where e.department_id = d.department_id
方式二：SELECT … FROM … NATURAL JOIN … 有局限性：会自动连接两个表中相同的列(可能有多个:department_id 和 manager_id)
SELECT last_name,department_id,department_name FROM employees NATURAL JOIN departments
方式三：SELECT … JOIN … USING … 有局限性：好于方式二，但若多表的连接列列名不同，此法不合适
SELECT last_name,department_id,department_name FROM employees JOIN departments USING(department_id)
方式四：SELECT … FROM … JOIN … ON … 常用方式，较方式一，更易实现外联接(左、右、满)
SELECT last_name,e.department_id,department_name FROM employees e JOIN departments d ON e.department_id = d.department_id
