 Full Outer Join
The full outer join combines the results of both the left join and the right join.

If the rows in the joined table do not match, the full outer join sets NULL
values for every column of the table that does not have the matching
row.If a row from one table matches a row in another table, the result
row will contain columns populated from columns of rows from both
tables.
Syntax: SELECT * FROM A
FULL [OUTER] JOIN B on A.id = B.id;

 Introduction

PL/SQL stands for Procedural Language/SQL.

PL/SQL extends SQL by adding constructs found in procedural
languages, resulting in a structural language that is more powerful
than SQL.
The basic unit in PL/SQL is a block. All PL/SQL programs are made up
of blocks, which can be nested within each other.
A block has the following structure:

Structure of a Block

DECLARE
/* Declarative section */

BEGIN

/* Executable section: procedural and SQL statements

go here. This is the only section of the block that
is required. */

EXCEPTION

/* Exception handling section: error handling

statements go here. */

Information Technology University (ITU) END;

 Coding a Block

Only the executable section is required. The other sections are

optional.
The only SQL statements allowed in a PL/SQL program DML
statements such as SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE plus some
transaction control.
Data definition statements like CREATE, DROP, or ALTER are not
allowed.
The executable section also contains constructs such as assignments,
branches, loops, procedure calls, and triggers.
PL/SQL is not case sensitive.
C style comments (/* ... */) may be used.

 Variables and Types

Information is transmitted between a PL/SQL program and the

database through variables.
Every variable has a specific type associated with it.
Types in PL/SQL can be tricky. In many cases, a PL/SQL variable will
be used to manipulate data stored in an existing relation. In this
case, it is essential that the variable have the same type as the
relation column. If there is any type mismatch, variable
assignments and comparisons may not work the way you expect.
To be safe, instead of hard coding the type of a variable, you should
use the %TYPE operator. For example:
id emp.empno%TYPE;
gives PL/SQL variable id whatever type was declared for the empno
column in relation emp.

Initializing a Variable

The initial value of any variable, regardless of its type, is NULL.

We can assign values to variables, using the ":=" operator.
The assignment can occur either immediately after the type of the
variable is declared, or anywhere in the executable portion of the
program.
Example
DECLARE
X NUMBER := 10;

A PL/SQL function declaration is similar to a procedure declaration--;except that the

function returns a value of a predefined data type.
Syntax:
create [or replace] function function_name(param_list)
returns return_type

as
$$
declare
-- variable declaration

-- logic
