# Join Table Engine {#join}
|
||
|
||
Optional prepared data structure for usage in [JOIN](../../../sql-reference/statements/select/join.md#select-join) operations.
|
||
|
||
!!! note "Note"
|
||
This is not an article about the [JOIN clause](../../../sql-reference/statements/select/join.md#select-join) itself.
|
||
|
||
## Creating a Table {#creating-a-table}
|
||
|
||
``` sql
|
||
CREATE TABLE [IF NOT EXISTS] [db.]table_name [ON CLUSTER cluster]
|
||
(
|
||
name1 [type1] [DEFAULT|MATERIALIZED|ALIAS expr1] [TTL expr1],
|
||
name2 [type2] [DEFAULT|MATERIALIZED|ALIAS expr2] [TTL expr2],
|
||
) ENGINE = Join(join_strictness, join_type, k1[, k2, ...])
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
See the detailed description of the [CREATE TABLE](../../../sql-reference/statements/create/table.md#create-table-query) query.
|
||
|
||
**Engine Parameters**
|
||
|
||
- `join_strictness` – [JOIN strictness](../../../sql-reference/statements/select/join.md#select-join-types).
|
||
- `join_type` – [JOIN type](../../../sql-reference/statements/select/join.md#select-join-types).
|
||
- `k1[, k2, ...]` – Key columns from the `USING` clause that the `JOIN` operation is made with.
|
||
|
||
Enter `join_strictness` and `join_type` parameters without quotes, for example, `Join(ANY, LEFT, col1)`. They must match the `JOIN` operation that the table will be used for. If the parameters don’t match, ClickHouse doesn’t throw an exception and may return incorrect data.
|
||
|
||
## Table Usage {#table-usage}
|
||
|
||
### Example {#example}
|
||
|
||
Creating the left-side table:
|
||
|
||
``` sql
|
||
CREATE TABLE id_val(`id` UInt32, `val` UInt32) ENGINE = TinyLog
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
``` sql
|
||
INSERT INTO id_val VALUES (1,11)(2,12)(3,13)
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
Creating the right-side `Join` table:
|
||
|
||
``` sql
|
||
CREATE TABLE id_val_join(`id` UInt32, `val` UInt8) ENGINE = Join(ANY, LEFT, id)
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
``` sql
|
||
INSERT INTO id_val_join VALUES (1,21)(1,22)(3,23)
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
Joining the tables:
|
||
|
||
``` sql
|
||
SELECT * FROM id_val ANY LEFT JOIN id_val_join USING (id) SETTINGS join_use_nulls = 1
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
``` text
|
||
┌─id─┬─val─┬─id_val_join.val─┐
|
||
│ 1 │ 11 │ 21 │
|
||
│ 2 │ 12 │ ᴺᵁᴸᴸ │
|
||
│ 3 │ 13 │ 23 │
|
||
└────┴─────┴─────────────────┘
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
As an alternative, you can retrieve data from the `Join` table, specifying the join key value:
|
||
|
||
``` sql
|
||
SELECT joinGet('id_val_join', 'val', toUInt32(1))
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
``` text
|
||
┌─joinGet('id_val_join', 'val', toUInt32(1))─┐
|
||
│ 21 │
|
||
└────────────────────────────────────────────┘
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
### Selecting and Inserting Data {#selecting-and-inserting-data}
|
||
|
||
You can use `INSERT` queries to add data to the `Join`-engine tables. If the table was created with the `ANY` strictness, data for duplicate keys are ignored. With the `ALL` strictness, all rows are added.
|
||
|
||
You cannot perform a `SELECT` query directly from the table. Instead, use one of the following methods:
|
||
|
||
- Place the table to the right side in a `JOIN` clause.
|
||
- Call the [joinGet](../../../sql-reference/functions/other-functions.md#joinget) function, which lets you extract data from the table the same way as from a dictionary.
|
||
|
||
### Limitations and Settings {#join-limitations-and-settings}
|
||
|
||
When creating a table, the following settings are applied:
|
||
|
||
- [join_use_nulls](../../../operations/settings/settings.md#join_use_nulls)
|
||
- [max_rows_in_join](../../../operations/settings/query-complexity.md#settings-max_rows_in_join)
|
||
- [max_bytes_in_join](../../../operations/settings/query-complexity.md#settings-max_bytes_in_join)
|
||
- [join_overflow_mode](../../../operations/settings/query-complexity.md#settings-join_overflow_mode)
|
||
- [join_any_take_last_row](../../../operations/settings/settings.md#settings-join_any_take_last_row)
|
||
- [persistent](../../../operations/settings/settings.md#persistent)
|
||
|
||
The `Join`-engine tables can’t be used in `GLOBAL JOIN` operations.
|
||
|
||
The `Join`-engine allows use [join_use_nulls](../../../operations/settings/settings.md#join_use_nulls) setting in the `CREATE TABLE` statement. And [SELECT](../../../sql-reference/statements/select/index.md) query allows use `join_use_nulls` too. If you have different `join_use_nulls` settings, you can get an error joining table. It depends on kind of JOIN. When you use [joinGet](../../../sql-reference/functions/other-functions.md#joinget) function, you have to use the same `join_use_nulls` setting in `CRATE TABLE` and `SELECT` statements.
|
||
|
||
## Data Storage {#data-storage}
|
||
|
||
`Join` table data is always located in the RAM. When inserting rows into a table, ClickHouse writes data blocks to the directory on the disk so that they can be restored when the server restarts.
|
||
|
||
If the server restarts incorrectly, the data block on the disk might get lost or damaged. In this case, you may need to manually delete the file with damaged data.
