#JOIN ON JOIN

Create script

First we will create three tables and fill them with values:

CREATE TABLE one (id NVARCHAR(3));
CREATE TABLE two (id NVARCHAR(3));
CREATE TABLE three (id NVARCHAR(3));

INSERT INTO one VALUES ('A'),('AB'),('AC'),('ABC');
INSERT INTO two VALUES ('B'),('AB'),('BC'),('ABC');
INSERT INTO three VALUES ('C'),('BC'),('AC'),('ABC');

1. INNER

1.1. INNER AND INNER

SELECT one.id AS a, two.id AS b FROM one INNER JOIN two ON one.id = two.id INNER JOIN three ON two.id = three.id;

returns

ABC	ABC	ABC

1.2. INNER AND LEFT

SELECT one.id AS a, two.id AS b, three.id AS c FROM one INNER JOIN two ON one.id = two.id LEFT OUTER JOIN three ON two.id = three.id;

returns:

AB	AB	NULL
ABC	ABC	ABC

1.3. INNER AND RIGHT

SELECT one.id AS a, two.id AS b, three.id AS c FROM one INNER JOIN two ON one.id = two.id RIGHT JOIN three ON two.id = three.id;

returns:

NULL	NULL	C
NULL	NULL	BC
NULL	NULL	AC
ABC	ABC	ABC

1.4. INNER AND OUTER

SELECT one.id AS a, two.id AS b, three.id AS c FROM one INNER JOIN two ON one.id = two.id FULL OUTER JOIN three ON two.id = three.id;

returns:
