Difference between natural join and inner join
One significant difference between INNER JOIN and NATURAL JOIN is the number of columns returned-
Consider:
TableA TableB +------------+----------+ +--------------------+ |Column1 | Column2 | |Column1 | Column3 | +-----------------------+ +--------------------+ | 1 | 2 | | 1 | 3 | +------------+----------+ +---------+----------+
The INNER JOIN of TableA and TableB on Column1 will return
SELECT * FROM TableA AS a INNER JOIN TableB AS b USING (Column1); SELECT * FROM TableA AS a INNER JOIN TableB AS b ON a.Column1 = b.Column1;
+------------+-----------+---------------------+ | a.Column1 | a.Column2 | b.Column1| b.Column3| +------------------------+---------------------+ | 1 | 2 | 1 | 3 | +------------+-----------+----------+----------+
The NATURAL JOIN of TableA and TableB on Column1 will return:
SELECT * FROM TableA NATURAL JOIN TableB +------------+----------+----------+ |Column1 | Column2 | Column3 | +-----------------------+----------+ | 1 | 2 | 3 | +------------+----------+----------+
