When you're deep in a data problem, the last thing you want is to hesitate over INNER JOIN
vs LEFT JOIN
. SQL JOINs are fundamental but their subtleties often trip up even experienced developers.
To make this clearer, I’ve created a visual and code-based cheatsheet you can refer to in seconds, not minutes.
Why This Exists
Most JOIN tutorials either oversimplify or overwhelm. I wanted something between:
Code you can read like a sentence, paired with visuals that explain themselves.
This cheatsheet includes:
- Clear examples for each JOIN type
- Short comments that get to the point
- Visuals that require no explanation
For Developers Who Don’t Like to Guess
If you already know SQL, this isn’t a lesson—it’s a reference.
You won’t find long paragraphs or bloated descriptions here. Just clean queries and concise visuals to validate your logic when it matters.
Use It Your Way
- Keep it open when writing queries
- Share with teammates
- Fork and extend with your own examples
It’s open and ready to grow with you.

If it helps you move faster and code with confidence, it’s done its job.
