A JOIN clause is used to combine rows from two or more tables, based on a related column between them.
Different Types of SQL JOINs
The different types of the JOINs in SQL:
(INNER) JOIN: Returns records that have matching values in both tables
LEFT (OUTER) JOIN: Returns all records from the left table, and the matched records from the right table
RIGHT (OUTER) JOIN: Returns all records from the right table, and the matched records from the left table
FULL (OUTER) JOIN: Returns all records when there is a match in either left or right table
SELF JOIN
A self JOIN is a regular join, but the table is joined with itself.
SELF JOIN Syntax
SELECT column_name(s) FROM table1 T1, table1 T2 WHERE condition;
