SQL: INNER JOIN

The INNER JOIN functions like the WHERE clause by relating two or more tables using matching data. The difference is that the INNER JOIN is used in the FROM clause. So to the the employee's territory like the one we wrote in this blog. We would change the query into the query below to use the INNER JOIN instead of the WHERE clause.

SELECT e.FirstName + ' ' + e.LastName AS Name, t.TerritoryDescription,t.TerritoryID
FROM Employees e
INNER JOIN EmployeeTerritories et ON et.EmployeeID = e.EmployeeID
INNER JOIN Territories t ON t.TerritoryID = et.TerritoryID

With the result:

To the employees who belongs to the Boston territory you would add the "AND" clause to the query, like the query below:

SELECT e.FirstName + ' ' + e.LastName AS Name, t.TerritoryDescription,t.TerritoryID
FROM Employees e
INNER JOIN EmployeeTerritories et ON et.EmployeeID = e.EmployeeID
INNER JOIN Territories t ON t.TerritoryID = et.TerritoryID
AND t.TerritoryID = 02116
