|

|
|
<div><p>Sometimes the information you want to see is not in a single table.
|
||
|
|
To form a row of the result table, you might want to retrieve some column
|
||
|
|
values from one table and some column values from another table. You can retrieve
|
||
|
|
and join column values from two or more tables into a single row.</p>
|
||
|
|
<div class="section"><p>Several different types of joins are supported by <span class="keyword">DB2<sup>®</sup> UDB for iSeries™</span>:
|
||
|
|
inner join, left outer join, right outer join, left exception join, right
|
||
|
|
exception join, and cross join.</p>
|
||
|
|
</div>
|
||
|
|
<div class="section"><h4 class="sectiontitle">Usage notes on join operations</h4><div class="p">When you join two
|
||
|
|
or more tables, consider the following items:<ul><li>If there are common column names, you must qualify each common name with
|
||
|
|
the name of the table (or a correlation name). Column names that are unique
|
||
|
|
do not need to be qualified. However, the USING clause can be used in a join
|
||
|
|
to allow you to identify columns that exist in both tables without
|
||
|
|
specifying table names.</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>If you do not list the column names you want, but instead use SELECT *,
|
||
|
|
SQL returns rows that consist of all the columns of the first table, followed
|
||
|
|
by all the columns of the second table, and so on.</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>You must be authorized to select rows from each table or view specified
|
||
|
|
in the FROM clause.</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>The sort sequence is applied to all character, or UCS-2 or UTF-16 graphic
|
||
|
|
columns being joined.</li>

<ul class="ullinks">
|
||
|
|
<li class="ulchildlink"><strong><a href="rbafyinj.htm">Inner join</a></strong><br />
|
||
|
|
An inner join returns only the rows from each table that have matching values in the join columns. Any rows that do not have a match between the tables will not appear in the result table.</li>
|
||
|
|
<li class="ulchildlink"><strong><a href="rbafyloj.htm">Left outer join</a></strong><br />
|
||
|
|
A left outer join returns all the rows that an inner join returns plus one row for each of the other rows in the first table that did not have a match in the second table.</li>
|
||
|
|
<li class="ulchildlink"><strong><a href="rbafyrojo.htm">Right outer join</a></strong><br />
|
||
|
|
A right outer join returns all the rows that an inner join returns plus one row for each of the other rows in the second table that did not have a match in the first table. It is the same as a left outer join with the tables specified in the opposite order.</li>
|
||
|
|
<li class="ulchildlink"><strong><a href="rbafyexjo.htm">Exception join</a></strong><br />
|
||
|
|
A left exception join returns only the rows from the first table
|
||
|
|
that do <strong>not</strong> have a match in the second table. </li>
|
||
|
|
<li class="ulchildlink"><strong><a href="rbafycrojo.htm">Cross join</a></strong><br />
|
||
|
|
A cross join (or Cartesian Product join) returns a result table where each row from the first table is combined with each row from the second table.</li>
|
||
|
|
<li class="ulchildlink"><strong><a href="rbafysimulatefoj.htm">Simulate a full outer join</a></strong><br />
|
||
|
|
Like the left and right outer joins, a full outer join returns matching rows from both tables. However, a full outer join also returns non-matching rows from both tables; left and right.</li>
|
||
|
|
<li class="ulchildlink"><strong><a href="rbafymjointypes.htm">Multiple join types in one statement</a></strong><br />
|
||
|
|
There are times when more than two tables need to be joined to produce the result that you want.</li>
|
||
|
|
