join關鍵字的作用是將多個表按一定的條件聯合起來，從而可以實現從多個表中獲取數據。
join的常見用法有join、left join 、right join 、full join。
on 和 where 的區別：
on 表示在 join 前進行條件篩選，然后再進行join操作。
where 表示在join操作完了再做過濾。
示例：
現在有兩張表t1 和 t2，表里面的數據如下：
> select * from t1;
+------+------+
| id | age |
+------+------+
| 1 | 20 |
| 2 | 21 |
| 3 | 22 |
| 4 | 23 |
| 5 | 24 |
+------+------+
> select * from t2;
+------+------+
| id | name |
+------+------+
| 1 | Lee |
| 2 | Bob |
| 3 | Kate |
| 4 | Tony |
+------+------+
思考一下下面的sql 執行后的結果，有幾條數據：
1）select * from t1 left join t2 on t1.id=t2.id and t1.id=1;
2）select * from t1 left join t2 on t1.id=t2.id and t2.id=1;
3）select * from t1 left join t2 on t1.id=t2.id where t1.id=1;
4）select * from t1 left join t2 on t1.id=t2.id where t2.id=1;

答案是：5、5、1、1
實際輸出結果如下：
1） select * from t1 left join t2 on t1.id=t2.id and t1.id=1;
+------+------+------+------+
| id | age | id | name |
+------+------+------+------+
| 1 | 20 | 1 | Lee |
| 2 | 21 | NULL | NULL |
| 3 | 22 | NULL | NULL |
| 4 | 23 | NULL | NULL |
| 5 | 24 | NULL | NULL |
+------+------+------+------+
2） select * from t1 left join t2 on t1.id=t2.id and t2.id=1;
+------+------+------+------+
| id | age | id | name |
+------+------+------+------+
| 1 | 20 | 1 | Lee |
| 2 | 21 | NULL | NULL |
| 3 | 22 | NULL | NULL |
| 4 | 23 | NULL | NULL |
| 5 | 24 | NULL | NULL |
+------+------+------+------+
3） select * from t1 left join t2 on t1.id=t2.id where t1.id=1;
+------+------+------+------+
| id | age | id | name |
+------+------+------+------+
| 1 | 20 | 1 | Lee |
+------+------+------+------+
4） select * from t1 left join t2 on t1.id=t2.id where t2.id=1;
+------+------+------+------+
| id | age | id | name |
+------+------+------+------+
| 1 | 20 | 1 | Lee |
+------+------+------+------+
注意一點：
left join 時，左表的數據是完整的，on 條件會篩選需要關聯的列，無論能否關聯上，左表都是完整的。比如下面的例子：
> select * from t1 left join t2 on t1.id=t2.id and t2.id=10;
+------+------+------+------+
| id | age | id | name |
+------+------+------+------+
| 1 | 20 | NULL | NULL |
| 2 | 21 | NULL | NULL |
| 3 | 22 | NULL | NULL |
| 4 | 23 | NULL | NULL |
| 5 | 24 | NULL | NULL |
+------+------+------+------+
同理，right join 也是一樣的。
