SQL Joins

Craig Freedman has written an excellent article on SQL joins

This is the first of several posts that I am planning for joins.  In this post, I’m going to start by introducing the logical join operators that SQL Server supports.  These are:

  • Inner join
  • Outer join
  • Cross join
  • Cross apply
  • Semi-join
  • Anti-semi-join

And if you read this and liked it, here’s his follow up post on Subqueries: ANDs and ORs
In fact, for those of you wanting to know all about joining tables in your queries, I have rarely seen it better explained than in this series of posts.
