What is Join in DBMS?

• Join in DBMS is a binary operation which allows you to


combine join product and selection in one single statement.
The goal of creating a join condition is that it helps you to
combine the data from two or more DBMS tables

• Types of Join
• Inner Joins: Theta, Natural
• Outer Join: Left, Right, Full
INNER JOIN
• INNER JOIN is used to return rows from both tables which
satisfy the given condition. It is the most widely used join
operation and can be considered as a default join-type
• Inner Join further divided into three subtypes:
• Theta join
• Natural join
• THETA JOIN allows you to merge two tables based on the
condition represented by theta. Theta joins work for all
comparison operators. It is denoted by symbol θ.

• A ⋈θ B
• Natural Join, there should be at least one common attribute
between two relations.
• It performs selection forming equality on those attributes which
appear in both relations and eliminates the duplicate attributes.
OUTER JOIN
• An OUTER JOIN doesn’t require each record in the two join
tables to have a matching record. In this type of join, the table
retains each record even if no other matching record exists.
• Three types of Outer Joins are:
• Left Outer Join
• Right Outer Join
• Full Outer Join
SELF JOIN
• A self join is a join in which the table is joined with itself,
specialy when the table has a foreign key and it references to
its own primary key
• SELECT
• employee.Id,
• employee.FullName,
• employee.ManagerId,
• manager.FullName as ManagerName
• FROM Employees employee
• JOIN Employees manager
• ON employee.ManagerId = manager.Id
Id FullName Salary ManagerId

Cross join
• Cross join (cartesian product)
• Select * from table_a cross join table_b;
