There are several methods for performing multi-table queries in MySQL.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. By using INNER JOIN, you can connect two or more tables together and retrieve data that meets the join conditions. For example:<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
    SELECT Orders.OrderID, Customers.CustomerName\r\nFROM Orders\r\nINNER JOIN Customers ON Orders.CustomerID = Customers.CustomerID;\r\n<\/code><\/pre>\n
      \n
    1. Using LEFT JOIN: Using LEFT JOIN keyword can return all rows from the left table, as well as the rows from the right table that meet the connection condition. If there are no matching rows in the right table, the rows from the left table will still be returned. For example:<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
      SELECT Customers.CustomerName, Orders.OrderID\r\nFROM Customers\r\nLEFT JOIN Orders ON Customers.CustomerID = Orders.CustomerID;\r\n<\/code><\/pre>\n
        \n
      1. With RIGHT JOIN: Using the RIGHT JOIN keyword allows you to return all rows from the right table, as well as rows from the left table that meet the joining condition. If there are no matching rows in the left table, it will still return rows from the right table. For example:<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
        SELECT Customers.CustomerName, Orders.OrderID\r\nFROM Customers\r\nRIGHT JOIN Orders ON Customers.CustomerID = Orders.CustomerID;\r\n<\/code><\/pre>\n
          \n
        1. By using CROSS JOIN: The CROSS JOIN keyword can return the Cartesian product of two tables, which includes all possible combinations of the two tables.\u4f8b\u5982\uff1a<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
          SELECT Customers.CustomerName, Orders.OrderID\r\nFROM Customers\r\nCROSS JOIN Orders;\r\n<\/code><\/pre>\n
            \n
          1. With UNION: By using the UNION keyword, multiple SELECT statements can be combined into one result set. It is important to note that each SELECT statement must return the same number of columns with the same data types when using UNION. For example:<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
            SELECT CustomerName FROM Customers\r\nUNION\r\nSELECT ProductName FROM Products;\r\n<\/code><\/pre>\n
              \n

              SELECT CustomerName, OrderID\r\nFROM Customers\r\nWHERE CustomerID IN (SELECT CustomerID FROM Orders);\r\n<\/code><\/pre>\n
