Why use inner join instead of join?
Answer. Depending on how we want to select the combined data, it can determine whether to use an INNER JOIN or a LEFT JOIN . Generally, we use INNER JOIN when we want to select only rows that match an ON condition. If no rows match the ON condition, then it will not return any results.
Where exists instead of join?
EXISTS is only used to test if a subquery returns results, and short circuits as soon as it does. JOIN is used to extend a result set by combining it with additional fields from another table to which there is a relation. You want to check existence (use instead of LEFT OUTER JOIN… NULL condition)

What happens if you use inner join with no conditions?
We can use ‘cross join’ without on condition. Cross join gives the result in cartesian product form. For instance, if in one table there are 3 records and another table has 2 records, then the first record will match with all the second table records. Then, the same process will be repeated for second record and so on.
Is where exists faster than JOIN?
In most cases, EXISTS or JOIN will be much more efficient (and faster) than an IN statement.
Is exists faster than inner join?
If you do an inner join on a recordset with DISTINCT applied (to get rid of the duplicates), EXISTS is usually faster. IN and EXISTS clauses (with an equijoin correlation) usually employ one of the several SEMI JOIN algorithms which are usually more efficient than a DISTINCT on one of the tables.
Is it better to use LEFT OUTER JOIN or RIGHT OUTER JOIN?
Thu Apr 19, 2007 by Jeff Smith in t-sql, techniques, efficiency, report-writing, joins-relations, group-by As many of you know, I strongly recommend that you avoid using RIGHT OUTER JOIN s, since they make your SQL code less readable and are easily rewritten as LEFT OUTER JOIN s.
Is there an alternative to joins to increase performance?
If your queries are slow, you need to optimize them – perhaps you are missing an index or two, perhaps you can rewrite the where clauses to reduce the number of returned rows. You can use sub-queries and temp tables, but chances are that a join would still be fastest.
When to use full outer join with totaling?
You must be absolutely sure when doing a FULL OUTER JOIN with any sort of totaling that the two tables will never have more than 1 matching row to the other table. What is the “driving” table behind this SQL statement?
When to use between VS < = and > =?
Use an alternative longer syntax where BETWEEN doesn’t work e.g. (Note < rather than <= in second condition.) They are the same. One thing to be careful of, is if you are using this against a DATETIME, the match for the end date will be the beginning of the day: (it would match against <= 20/10/2009 00:00:00.000)
