Binary Relational

Operations
Explore the key concepts of binary relational operations, including the JOIN
operation, Cartesian product, and various types of joins.
The JOIN Operation

Difference from Cartesian Product


JOIN only includes tuples that satisfy the join
condition, unlike Cartesian product which includes
all combinations.

Full Outer Join
Keeps All Tuples
Full outer join retains all tuples from both the left and right relations.

Fills in Null Values


Unmatched tuples are padded with NULL values in the result.

Combines Left and Right


The result is the union of the left and right outer joins.
Cartesian Product
Cartesian Product Combines all tuples from two relations without any
conditions.

Result The result has all possible combinations of tuples


from the two input relations.

Difference from Join Join only includes tuples that satisfy the join
condition.
