MySQL支持Select和某些Update和Delete情况下的Join语法，具体语法上的细节有：

  table_references:

    table_reference [, table_reference] …

  table_reference:

    table_factor

  | join_table

  table_factor:

    tbl_name [[AS] alias]

        [{USE|IGNORE|FORCE} INDEX (key_list)]

  | ( table_references )

  | { OJ table_reference LEFT OUTER JOIN table_reference

        ON conditional_expr }

  join_table:

    table_reference [INNER | CROSS] JOIN table_factor [join_condition]

  | table_reference STRAIGHT_JOIN table_factor

  | table_reference STRAIGHT_JOIN table_factor ON condition

  | table_reference LEFT [OUTER] JOIN table_reference join_condition

  | table_reference NATURAL [LEFT [OUTER]] JOIN table_factor

  | table_reference RIGHT [OUTER] JOIN table_reference join_condition

  | table_reference NATURAL [RIGHT [OUTER]] JOIN table_factor

  join_condition:

    ON conditional_expr | USING (column_list)

SELECT * FROM t1 LEFT JOIN (t2, t3, t4) ON (t2.a=t1.a AND t3.b=t1.b AND t4.c=t1.c)
