I'm reviewing the sql code of others, I know what it does, but not sure how to understand about the join on 1=1 means?
The sql is basically to insert some rows into based on some existing rows in the same table, but just change the programID.
DECLARE @Programs TABLE
(
ProgramID INT
)
INSERT INTO @Programs SELECT 30
INSERT INTO @Programs SELECT 31
INSERT INTO @Programs SELECT 32
INSERT INTO SchoolProgram
(
SchoolYear,
SchoolID,
RangeCd,
ProgramID,
...)
SELECT srp.SchoolYear,
srp.SchoolID,
srp.RangeCd,
pr.ProgramID,
srp.OriginalProjection,
srp.RevisedProjection,
...
FROM SchoolProgram srp
JOIN @Programs pr ON 1 = 1
WHERE srp.ProgramID = 7

It's basically doing a cross join. Maybe the author didn't know about that option.
Outer apply might be my choice here depending on the real requirements.

I have seen this used many times as well. It basically satisifies the syntax requirement of the "JOIN" clause without any joining fields. Produces same result as a "cross join".

so if I change the join to cross join and take off 1=1, it will be the same, correct?
But I read somewhere if a cross join have a where clause, it is the same as inner join,
is it true for this case?
Thanks

Depends what the where clause is.

Well you could do it like this if you wanted to =>
FROM SchoolProgram srp
INNER JOIN @Programs pr ON srp.ProgramID = 7

Thanks, so above statement, for inner join it doesn't need to join on a matched column?
I just feel it's kind of hard for me to understand this cross join.

To be a proper join, it does. Ninja's example is not a join, it's a filter on a cross join, It's this:
FROM SchoolProgram srp
CROSS JOIN @Programs pr
WHERE srp.ProgramID = 7

As Gail said.
Both queries will give the correct results.
However, for readability I'll preffer cross join or cross apply in this situation. It makes it super obvious of what's going on.

That's right, the SQL language doesn't force people to write joins that make sense.
I just feel it's kind of hard for me to understand this cross join.
I'm not surprised. Writing joins naturally, with proper join conditions in the ON clause and other non-join filters in the WHERE clause makes life easier for everyone. If it were me, I would rewrite these using explicit CROSS JOIN syntax.
