我有一个非常基本的LEFT OUTER JOIN来返回来自左表的所有结果和来自一个大得多的表的一些附加信息。左表包含4935条记录，但当我left OUTER JOIN到另一个表时，记录计数明显更大。
据我所知，这是绝对的福音，一个LEFT OUTER JOIN将返回所有记录从左表与匹配的记录从右表和空值的任何行不能匹配，因此，这是我的理解，它应该不可能返回更多的行比存在于左表，但它的发生都一样!
SQL查询如下:
SELECT SUSP.Susp_Visits.SuspReason, SUSP.Susp_Visits.SiteID
FROM SUSP.Susp_Visits LEFT OUTER JOIN
DATA.Dim_Member ON SUSP.Susp_Visits.MemID = DATA.Dim_Member.MembershipNum
也许我在语法上犯了一个错误，或者我对LEFT OUTER JOIN的理解是不完整的，希望有人能解释这是如何发生的?

由于左边的表包含4935条记录，我怀疑您希望结果返回4935条记录。试试这个:
create table table1
(siteID int,
SuspReason int)
create table table2
(siteID int,
SuspReason int)
insert into table1(siteID, SuspReason) values
(1, 678),
(1, 186),
(1, 723)
insert into table2(siteID, SuspReason) values
(1, 678),
(1, 965)
select distinct t1.siteID, t1.SuspReason
from table1 t1 left join table2 t2 on t1.siteID = t2.siteID and t1.SuspReason = t2.SuspReason
union
select distinct t2.siteID, t2.SuspReason
from table1 t1 right join table2 t2 on t1.siteID = t2.siteID and t1.SuspReason = t2.SuspReason
其他回答
LEFT OUTER JOIN就像INNER JOIN(普通连接)一样，将为左表中的每一行返回与右表中找到的匹配数量相同的结果。因此，您可以得到很多结果-直到N x M，其中N是左表中的行数，M是右表中的行数。
它是LEFT OUTER JOIN中保证的最小结果数至少为N。
Table1 Table2
_______ _________
1 2
2 2
3 5
4 6
SELECT Table1.Id,
Table2.Id
FROM Table1
LEFT OUTER JOIN Table2 ON Table1.Id=Table2.Id
结果:
1,null
2,2
2,2
3,null
4,null
如果你只需要右边的任意一行
SELECT SuspReason, SiteID FROM(
SELECT SUSP.Susp_Visits.SuspReason, SUSP.Susp_Visits.SiteID, ROW_NUMBER()
OVER(PARTITION BY SUSP.Susp_Visits.SiteID) AS rn
FROM SUSP.Susp_Visits
LEFT OUTER JOIN DATA.Dim_Member ON SUSP.Susp_Visits.MemID = DATA.Dim_Member.MembershipNum
) AS t
WHERE rn=1
或者只是
SELECT SUSP.Susp_Visits.SuspReason, SUSP.Susp_Visits.SiteID
FROM SUSP.Susp_Visits WHERE EXISTS(
SELECT DATA.Dim_Member WHERE SUSP.Susp_Visits.MemID = DATA.Dim_Member.MembershipNum
)
DATA中似乎有多行。每个SUSP的Dim_Member表。Susp_Visits行。
左表和右表之间会是一对多的关系吗?
