Cheatsheet Pages / SQL Cheatsheet

INNER JOIN in SQL — only rows that match in both tables

You want each employee shown with their department name, and only employees who have one.

Every example runs against the cheatsheet's sample tables — departments(id, name), employees(id, name, dept_id, salary, manager_id, hired_on) and orders(id, emp_id, amount, ordered_on) — and was executed and verified against SQLite, so you can paste it in and get the same result.

SELECT e.name, d.name AS dept FROM employees e JOIN departments d ON e.dept_id = d.id;
-- 6 rows: Grace has no department and drops out
