Итак... какой из них быстрее (значение NULl не является проблемой) и индексируется.
SELECT * FROM A
JOIN B b ON b.id = a.id
JOIN C c ON c.id = b.id
WHERE A.id = '12345'
Использование левых соединений:
SELECT * FROM A
LEFT JOIN B ON B.id=A.bid
LEFT JOIN C ON C.id=B.cid
WHERE A.id = '12345'
Вот фактический запрос Вот он.. оба возвращают тот же результат
