I have two tables, traffic and sales. Each one has a date field and lists the traffic and sales broken down by various parameters (multiple rows for each date). If I run select (select count(*) from traffic) as traffic, (select count(*) from sales) as sales; I get the following 49383;167807 if I run select count(*) from traffic t inner join sales s on t.date = s.date I get 24836841. If I change the join to a left join, right join, full join I get the same number of records. So I created a data table which just has the dates in it and ran this query. select count(d.date) from dates d inner join traffic t on t.date = d.date inner join sales s on s.date = d.date And I get the same number 24836841 Same goes for right joins on the above query. Left joins of course give a different answer as there are more dates in the date table than there are in the other tables. I am a bit perplexed by what is happening here.
