List and explain the different types of JOIN.

  • Inner join: returns only those records that match in both the tables.

      SELECT A.*,B.* FROM table_A A
      INNER JOIN table_B B   
      ON A.aID = B.aID;
    
  • Left outer: join returns all records from left table and only matching records from right.

      SELECT A.*,B.* FROM table_A A
      LEFT JOIN table_B B   
      ON A.aID = B.aID;
    
  • Right outer: join returns all records from right table and only matching records from left.

      SELECT A.*,B.* FROM table_A A
      RIGHT JOIN table_B B   
      ON A.aID = B.aID;
    
  • Full outer join: combines left outer join and right outer join. This join returns all records/rows from both the tables.
SELECT A.*,B.* FROM table_A A
FULL OUTER JOIN table_B B   
ON A.aID = B.aID;
  • Cross join: is a cartesian join means cartesian product of both the tables. This join does not need any condition to join two tables.
      SELECT A.*,B.* FROM table_A A
      CROSS JOIN table_B B
    
  • Self join: is used to join a database table to itself
      SELECT A.*,B.* FROM table_A A
      INNER JOIN table_A A2   
      ON A.aID = A2.pID;
