区别：内连接只取两张表中满足where条件的部分（交集部分），外连接除了取满足的部分还会取不满足的部分。因此外连接又可以分为：左外连接、右外连接、全外连接。
1.内连接
SQL92内连接
SELECT employee_id,department_name
FROM employees e,departments d
WHERE e.`department_id` = d.department_id;
SQL99内连接，使用join或inner join都一样
SELECT last_name,department_name
FROM employees e
INNER JOIN departments d ON e.`department_id` = d.`department_id`;
SELECT last_name,department_name,city
FROM employees e
JOIN departments d ON e.`department_id` = d.`department_id`
JOIN locations l ON d.`location_id` = l.`location_id`;
2.外连接
查询所有的员工的last_name,department_name信息，有员工没有部门，有的部门为空。
#这种方式只能查出106条数据，错误的
SELECT employee_id,department_name
FROM employees e,departments d
WHERE e.`department_id` = d.department_id; # 需要使用左外连接
SQL92版本实现外连接，MySQL不支持SQL92语法中外连接的写法，Oracle支持，在缺少的那个表后使用+，查出107条数据，有一个员工没有部门
SELECT employee_id,department_name
FROM employees e,departments d
WHERE e.`department_id` = d.department_id(+);
SQL99版本实现外连接
查询所有的员工的last_name,department_name信息。
# 左外连接：
SELECT last_name,department_name
FROM employees e LEFT JOIN departments d
ON e.`department_id` = d.`department_id`;
#右外连接：
SELECT last_name,department_name
FROM employees e RIGHT OUTER JOIN departments d
ON e.`department_id` = d.`department_id`;
#满外连接：mysql不支持FULL OUTER JOIN
SELECT last_name,department_name
FROM employees e FULL OUTER JOIN departments d
ON e.`department_id` = d.`department_id`;
