A JOIN can contain multiple conditions in the ON clause when records must match on more than one column.
Some relationships depend on combinations of columns rather than a single identifier.
Match sales records using both ProductID and Region.
SELECT
s.ProductID,
s.Region,
p.ProductName
FROM Sales s
INNER JOIN ProductRegions p
ON s.ProductID = p.ProductID
AND s.Region = p.Region;Multiple-condition joins are useful in composite-key relationships, regional data, historical data, and detailed reconciliation tasks.
