SQL Inner JOIN By Two Columns Tricky Example

Here is SQL Inner Join example of two tables. The first thing you need is common key for both tables. That means common fields of both the tables on which you are going to join. If you know table structure of both the tables, it is very easy to find Key field, and you can write join SQL query easily.
