Assuming we have two tables, viz. Customers and Orders:
The relationship between them is one-to-many as indicated by the red arrow. The Customer Primary Key is inserted into the Order Table as a CustomerID field. This implies that each Order can have only one Customer. On the other hand, each Customer can have more than one order. Hence, one-to-many.
In order to display a table which shows which customer ordered what item, we need to join the two tables in a meaningful way. A possible solution is the following SQL Query:
SELECT Customers.CustomerID, Customers.CompanyName, Orders.OrderID, Orders.OrderDate
FROM Customers INNER JOIN Orders
ON Customers.CustomerID = Orders.CustomerID
This will yield:
Notice this syntax:
FROM Customers INNER JOIN Orders
It reads as "Join the Customers Table to the Orders Table".
The next condition is:
ON Customers.CustomerID = Orders.CustomerID
It reads as "based on CustomerID". And we know that Customer ID from Customer Table is inserted into Order's Table as a field under the CustomerID field. This is what makes the Join possible.
