inner join= try to fetch the record which is common in both the tables.

-- during inner join the column values which are not a part of any table(i.e
satisfying the join condition) are left out.
------------------
left join = inner join + any additional record that is left in the left table.

-- Left side of the table will be given more priority.


-- just look upon the tables which is present on the right and left side of the
join keyword.
-- if our select column is fetching any column from right table ,which doesn't
satisfy the join condition then it will be returned as null.
------------------
right join = inner join + any additional record that is left in the right table.

-- Right side of the table will be given more priority.


--if our select column if fetching any column from left table, which doesn't
satisfy the join condition then it will be returned as null.
-----------------
full join= inner join
+ all remaining record from the left table (returns null value from
any column fetched from the right table)
+ all remaining record from the right table (returns null value
from any column fetched from the left table)
-----------------
-- inner join = join
-- full join = full outer join (outer is optional)
-- left join= left outer join
-- right join = right outer join
-----------------

cross join = is also cartesian join


(left side table record)*(right side table record)
- it just multiplies the records present in both the tables.
- it just going to join every single record present in left table with every
single record present in right table.
- it is also helpful in scenarios where we cant join columns based on certain
conditions (i.e using 'ON' clause) then in this cases we can use cross join.

- ham tables ko join nahi kar sakte but still we need to fetch record from that
table then in that case cross join is what we have to use.

e.g- SELECT e.emp_name,d.dept_name,c.company_name,c.location FROM employee e INNER


JOIN department d ON e.dept_id=d.dept_id CROSS JOIN company c;

=the ouput or the result set we are getting from the inner join will be used by
cross join to join the company.

-----------------

-- NATURAL JOIN

in this join , based on which column the join should happen will be decided by sql
itself.
- it will look for the column that are sharing the same name,and based on that it
will join the tables.
-- in sql a natural join will do inner join ,the columns that are sharing the same
name between the tables.

-- and in sql natural join will behave like cross join , if it doesn't find any
column that share the same name between columns

-- and let say if there are more than one column which is sharing the same name
between the tables then the join will happen on all of those column which are
sharing the same name.

-- and this is major difference between inner join and natural join as it is always
recommended to use inner join as compare to natural join because in natural join we
are giving control to the sql to choose the columns based on which tables should
joined , and as a dev we should be avoiding this.

-- using natural join can result into unexpected result if the matching column
names contain different values or the matching column is present with a different
name in table , which will create issue if our query is running in production
environment.
--------------------------
alter table department rename column dept_id to id;
-------------------

-- SELF JOIN

- inner ,left,right and self joins are the most widely used joins.
- self join is like when we are joining table to itself. ok so whenever there's a
req where we have to match one record from a table ,based on some another record of
that same table.

-- Write a query to fetch the child name their age corresponding to their parent
name
- So in this we have to use the same table twice.

-- so iska query ese Banega

--------------------------
select child.name as chid_name , child.age as ahild_age, parent.name as
parent_name, parent.age as parent_age from family as child join family as parent on
child.parent_id = parent.member_id;
---------------------------
- ham self join ko left , and right join ke sath bhi use kar sakte hai , so if we
use it with left join it will return basically all the child which doesn't have any
parent.
- and similarly for right join as well
