Inner Join
This is the most used join in the SQL. this join returns only those records/rows that match/exists in both the database tables.
Inner Join Example
- SELECT * FROM tblEmp JOIN tblDept
- ON tblEmp.DeptID = tblDept.DeptID;
Inner Join Result
tblEmp.Name
tblEmp.DeptID
tblDept.Name
tblDept.DeptID

In the join condition, you can also use other operators like <,>,<>.
Equi Join
Equi join is a special type of join in which we use only equality operator. Hence, when you make a query for join using equality operator then that join query comes under Equi join.
Equi Join Example
- SELECT * FROM tblEmp JOIN tblDept
- ON tblEmp.DeptID = tblDept.DeptID;
- --Using Clause is not supported by SQL Server
- --Oracle and MySQL Query
- SELECT * FROM tblEmp INNER JOIN tblDept USING(DeptID)
Equi Join Result
tblEmp.Name
tblEmp.DeptID
tblDept.Name
tblDept.DeptID

Note
- Inner join can have equality (=) and other operators (like <,>,<>) in the join condition.
- Equi join only have equality (=) operator in the join condition.
- Equi join can be an Inner join, Left Outer join, Right Outer join
- The USING clause is not supported by SQL Server and Sybase. This clause is supported by Oracle and MySQL.
Natural Join
Natural join is a type of equi join which occurs implicitly by comparing all the same names columns in both tables. The join result have only one column for each pair of equally named columns.
Natural Join Example
- --Run in Oracle and MySQL
- SELECT * FROM tblEmp NATURAL JOIN tblDept
Natural Join Result
DeptID
tblEmp.Name
tblDept.Name

In the above join result we have only one column "DeptID" for each pair of equally named columns.
Note
- In Natural join, you can't see what columns from both the tables will be used in the join. In Natural join, you might not get the desired result what you are expecting.
- Natural join clause is not supported by SQL Server, it is supported by Oracle and MySQL.
Thank you.
