JOIN in RDBMS:

A JOIN clause in SQL is used to combine rows from two or more tables based on a related column between them. It is used to retrieve data from multiple tables at once.

Main Types of JOINs:
  • INNER JOIN: Returns records that have matching values in both tables. This is the most common type of join.
  • LEFT JOIN (or LEFT OUTER JOIN): Returns all records from the left table, and the matched records from the right table. The result is NULL from the right side if there is no match.
  • RIGHT JOIN (or RIGHT OUTER JOIN): Returns all records from the right table, and the matched records from the left table. The result is NULL from the left side when there is no match.
  • FULL JOIN (or FULL OUTER JOIN): Returns all records when there is a match in either the left or right table. It combines the results of both LEFT and RIGHT joins.
  • CROSS JOIN: Creates the Cartesian product of two tables, meaning it combines every row from the first table with every row from the second table.
  • SELF JOIN: A regular join, but the table is joined with itself. This is useful for querying hierarchical data or comparing rows within the same table.
