SQL 关于apply的两种形式cross apply 和 outer apply
例子：
CREATE TABLE [dbo].[Customers](
[customerid] [char](5) COLLATE Chinese_PRC_CI_AS NOT NULL,
[city] [varchar](10) COLLATE Chinese_PRC_CI_AS NOT NULL,
PRIMARY KEY CLUSTERED
(
[customerid] ASC
)WITH (IGNORE_DUP_KEY = OFF) ON [PRIMARY]
) ON [PRIMARY] insert into dbo.Customers values('FISSA','Madrid');
insert into dbo.Customers values('FRNDO','Madrid');
insert into dbo.Customers values('KRLOS','Madrid');
insert into dbo.Customers values('MRPHS','Zion'); select * from dbo.Customers CREATE TABLE [dbo].[Orders](
[orderid] [int] NOT NULL,
[customerid] [char](5) COLLATE Chinese_PRC_CI_AS NULL,
PRIMARY KEY CLUSTERED
(
[orderid] ASC
)WITH (IGNORE_DUP_KEY = OFF) ON [PRIMARY]
) ON [PRIMARY] insert into dbo.Orders values(1,'FRNDO');
insert into dbo.Orders values(2,'FRNDO');
insert into dbo.Orders values(3,'KRLOS');
insert into dbo.Orders values(4,'KRLOS');
insert into dbo.Orders values(5,'KRLOS');
insert into dbo.Orders values(6,'MRPHS');
insert into dbo.Orders values(7,null); select * from dbo.orders --得到每个消费者最新的两个订单：
--用cross apply select *
from dbo.Customers as C
cross apply
(select top 2 *
from dbo.Orders as O
where C.customerid=O.customerid
order by orderid desc) as CA --过程分析：
--它是先得出左表【dbo.Customers】里的数据，然后把此数据一条一条的放入右表表式中，分别得出结果集，最后把结果集整合到一起就是最终的返回结果集了
--（T1的数据 像for循环一样 一条一条的进入到T2中 然后返回一个集合 最后把所有的集合整合到一块 就是最终的结果），
--最后我们再理解一下上面让记着的话（使用apply就像是先计算左输入，让后为左输入中的每一行计算一次右输入）是不是有所明白了。
--实验：用outer apply 试试看看的到的结果： select *
from dbo.Customers as C
outer apply
(select top 2 *
from dbo.Orders as O
where C.customerid=O.customerid
order by orderid desc) as CA --结果分析：
--发现outer apply得到的结果比cross多了一行，我们结合上面所写的区别（cross apply和outer apply 总是包含步骤A1，只有outer apply包含步骤A2，
--如果cross apply左行应用右表表达式时返回空积，则不返回该行。而outer apply返回改行，并且改行的右表表达式的属性为null）就会知道了。
例子：
