INNER JOIN

Inner Join joins two table on the basis of the column which is explicitly specified in the ON clause. The resulting table will contain all the attributes from both the tables including common column also. 

Syntax

SELECT * 
FROM table1 INNER JOIN table2 ON table1.Column_Name = table2.Column_Name; 

Query

Consider the above two tables and the query is given below:

SELECT * 
FROM Student S INNER JOIN Student_Marks M ON S.Roll_No = M.Roll_No;

Output

Table 2

Difference between Natural join and Inner Join in SQL

The join operation merges the two tables based on the same attribute name and their datatypes are known as Natural join Unlike INNER JOIN, which requires you to specify the columns and conditions for the join explicitly. In this article, we will also see the differences between them. Let’s start with Natural Join.

Example:

If you have two tables “Student” and “Student_Marks” and you want to retrieve a record of students who have got marks then we use INNER JOIN using a shared column like ”ROLL_No”.

Natural JOIN vs INNER JOIN in SQL

NATURAL JOIN INNER JOIN Natural Join joins two tables based on same attribute name and datatypes. Inner Join joins two table on the basis of the column which is explicitly specified in the ON clause. In Natural Join, The resulting table will contain all the attributes of both the tables but keep only one copy of each common column In Inner Join, The resulting table will contain all the attribute of both the tables including duplicate columns also In Natural Join, If there is no condition specifies then it returns the rows based on the common column In Inner Join, only those records will return which exists in both the tables Syntax- SELECT * FROM table1 NATURAL JOIN table2;  Syntax-SELECT * FROM table1 INNER JOIN table2 ON table1.Column_Name= table2.Column_Name;...

Conclusion

In this post, we have mostly discussed the NATURAL JOIN and INNER JOIN as well as their distinctions. In the structured query language, both types of joins—whether they be Natural joins or Inner joins—play a significant role. An explicit join condition is not necessary for a natural join. The primary distinction is that whereas natural joins combine tables when they share a column name, inner joins combine tables that are expressly defined in the ON clause....
