    See Section 15.2.14, “Set Operations with UNION, INTERSECT, and EXCEPT”

INTERSECT 将多个查询块的结果限制为所有行的公共部分。示例：

mysql> TABLE a;
+------+------+
| m    | n    |
+------+------+
|    1 |    2 |
|    2 |    3 |
|    3 |    4 |
+------+------+
3 rows in set (0.00 sec)

mysql> TABLE b;
+------+------+
| m    | n    |
+------+------+
|    1 |    2 |
|    1 |    3 |
|    3 |    4 |
+------+------+
3 rows in set (0.00 sec)

mysql> TABLE c;
+------+------+
| m    | n    |
+------+------+
|    1 |    3 |
|    1 |    3 |
|    3 |    4 |
+------+------+
3 rows in set (0.00 sec)

mysql> TABLE a INTERSECT TABLE b;
+------+------+
| m    | n    |
+------+------+
|    1 |    2 |
|    3 |    4 |
+------+------+
2 rows in set (0.00 sec)

mysql> TABLE a INTERSECT TABLE c;
+------+------+
| m    | n    |
+------+------+
|    3 |    4 |
+------+------+
1 row in set (0.00 sec)

与UNION和EXCEPT一样，如果既没有指定DISTINCT也没有指定ALL，默认为DISTINCT。

DISTINCT 可以从交集的两侧删除重复行，如下所示：

mysql> TABLE c INTERSECT DISTINCT TABLE c;
+------+------+
| m    | n    |
+------+------+
|    1 |    3 |
|    3 |    4 |
+------+------+
2 rows in set (0.00 sec)

mysql> TABLE c INTERSECT ALL TABLE c;
+------+------+
| m    | n    |
+------+------+
|    1 |    3 |
|    1 |    3 |
|    3 |    4 |
+------+------+
3 rows in set (0.00 sec)

(TABLE c INTERSECT TABLE c 等同于前面显示的两个语句中的第一个语句。)

与UNION一样，操作数必须具有相同的列数。结果集列类型也将根据UNION确定。

INTERSECT 的优先级高于和，且在UNION和EXCEPT之前被评估，因此这两个语句如下所示是等效的：

TABLE r EXCEPT TABLE s INTERSECT TABLE t;

TABLE r EXCEPT (TABLE s INTERSECT TABLE t);

对于INTERSECT ALL，左侧表中的任何唯一行的最大重复次数为 4294967295。
