DATABASE JOIN QUERY

INNER JOIN
LEFT OUTER JOIN
RIGHT OUTER JOIN
FULL OUTER JOIN
CROSS JOIN
Each type is explained below with suitable examples:
Lets consider two tables as Table1 & Table2 for our example.
CREATE TEST TABLES
CREATE TABLE Table1(ID [int], Code [varchar](10));
GO
CREATE TABLE Table2(ID [int], Amount [int]);
GO
INSERT DUMMY DATA
INSERT INTO Table1 VALUES
(1,AAA),(2,BBB),(3,CCC)
GO
INSERT INTO Table2 VALUES
(1,50),(2,30),(4,40)
GO
INNER JOIN:
Inner joins return rows only
when there is at least one
row from both tables that
matches the join condition.
Inner joins eliminate the
rows that do not match with
a row from the other table.
Below is the query for inner
join:
SELECT *
FROM Table1 A
INNER JOIN Table2 B
ON A.ID = B.ID
GO
LEFT OUTER JOIN

Left Outer joins return all rows from the left table referenced with a left outer join and
matching rows from other table. Unmatched records will be NULL. Below is the query
for Left Outer Join:
SELECT *
FROM Table1 A
LEFT OUTER JOIN Table2 B
ON A.ID = B.ID
GO
RIGHT OUTER JOIN
Right Outer joins return
all rows from the right
table referenced with a
right outer join and
matching rows from
other table. Unmatched
records will be NULL.
Below is the query for
Right Outer Join:
SELECT *
FROM Table1 A
RIGHT OUTER JOIN
Table2 B
ON A.ID = B.ID
GO
FULL OUTER JOIN
Full Outer joins return
all rows from both the
tables. Unmatched
records will be NULL.
Below is the query for
Full Outer Join:
SELECT * FROM
Table1 A
FULL OUTER JOIN
Table2 B
ON A.ID = B.ID
GO

CROSS JOIN
In cross joins, each row from first table joins with all the rows of another table. If there
are m rows from Table1 and n rows from Table2 then result set of these tables will have
m*n rows. Below is the query for
SELECT * FROM Table1 A
CROSS JOIN Table2 B
GO
