sql中的left join及on、where条件关键字的区别详解

left join 关键字会从左表 (table_name1) 那里返回所有的行，即使在右表 (table_name2) 中没有匹配的行。

left join 关键字语法

select column_name(s)
from table_name1
left join table_name2 
on table_name1.column_name=table_name2.column_name

注释：在某些数据库中， left join 称为 left outer join。

创建两张表并插入一些数据

create table class(
 class_id int,
 class_name varchar(20),
 class_grade char(1)
);
insert into class values (1,'语文','a');
insert into class values (2,'数学','b');
insert into class values (3,'英语','c');
create table score(
 class_id int,
 stu_id varchar(20),
 score int
);
insert into score values (1,'a001',91);
insert into score values (2,'a001',95);
insert into score values (1,'a002',82);
insert into score values (2,'a002',87);
insert into score values (3,'b003',65);

查看表中的数据

mysql> select * from class;

+----------+------------+-------------+
|    1 | 语文    | a      |
|    2 | 数学    | b      |
|    3 | 英语    | c      |
+----------+------------+-------------+
3 rows in set (0.00 sec)
mysql> select * from score;
+----------+--------+-------+
| class_id | stu_id | score |
+----------+--------+-------+
|    1 | a001  |  91 |
|    2 | a001  |  95 |
|    1 | a002  |  82 |

比较下面几组查询结果

--如果你对left join足够熟悉的话，先不要看结果，是否可以直接说出下面查询的结果

如果on后面的条件是左表中的列(and lefttable.colname='***'),左表中满足条件的行和右表中的行进行匹配(根据on lefttable.id=righttable.id)；左表中不满足条件的行，直接输出，其对应的右表中的列都是null。

mysql> select * from class a left join score b on a.class_id=b.class_id and b.score=90;
+----------+------------+-------------+----------+--------+-------+

如果on后面的条件是右表中的列(and righttable.colname='***'),首先会根据(and righttable.colname='***')过滤掉右表中不满足条件的行；然后，左表中的行根据(on lefttable.id=righttable.id)和右表中满足条件的行进行匹配。

/**********************过滤条件在on中时**********************/

总结一下，如果 left join on lefttable.id=righttable.id 后还有其他条件：

(1)and lefttable.colname='***'，过滤左表，但是左表不满足条件的行直接输出，并将右表对应部分置为null
(2)and righttable.colname='***'，过滤右表，对左表没有影响
(3)and lefttable.colname='***' and righttable.colname='***'，就是上面(1)和(2)一起发挥作用

不管on后面有哪些条件，left join都要返回左表中的所有行！

/**********************过滤条件在where中时**********************/

过滤条件写在where中时，先根据where条件对表进行过滤，然后再执行left join
