Joining More Than Two Tables
When you work with databases in real-world scenarios, you often need to gather information that spans more than just two tables. Multi-table joins allow you to combine data from three or more related tables in a single query, which is essential for generating comprehensive reports and insights. For instance, you might want to see which employees are assigned to which projects and also include details about the departments responsible for those projects. This approach is common in business reporting, such as analyzing employee involvement across departments or tracking project assignments company-wide.
1234567SELECT employees.name AS employee_name, projects.project_name FROM employees INNER JOIN assignments ON employees.employee_id = assignments.employee_id INNER JOIN projects ON assignments.project_id = projects.project_id;
This query demonstrates how to join three tables—employees, assignments, and projects—to show which employees are assigned to which projects. The logic begins by joining employees to assignments using the employee_id column, which links each employee to their assignments. Next, it joins assignments to projects using the project_id, connecting each assignment to its corresponding project. By chaining these INNER JOIN operations, you can traverse relationships across multiple tables and retrieve the combined data you need.
When you want to include even more context, such as the department each project belongs to, you can extend the join to a fourth table. The following query brings together employees, assignments, projects, and departments to display employee names, project names, and department names in a single result.
123456789SELECT employees.name AS employee_name, projects.project_name, departments.department_name FROM employees INNER JOIN assignments ON employees.employee_id = assignments.employee_id INNER JOIN projects ON assignments.project_id = projects.project_id INNER JOIN departments ON projects.department_id = departments.department_id;
1. What is required to join more than two tables in a single SQL query?
2. How do you avoid ambiguity when joining multiple tables with columns of the same name?
3. Fill in the blanks to complete a query that joins employees, assignments, and projects to show each employee's name and the project they are assigned to.

Can you explain how INNER JOIN works in these queries?
What would happen if I used LEFT JOIN instead?
How can I filter the results to show only employees from a specific department?
Чудово!
