SQL joins

SQL joins are essential for combining records from two or more tables in a database based on related columns. There are several types of joins, each serving a different purpose:

INNER JOIN: This join returns records that have matching values in both tables. It creates a new set that includes only the rows where the specified conditions are met.
LEFT JOIN (or LEFT OUTER JOIN): This join returns all records from the left table and the matched records from the right table. If there is no match, NULL values are returned for columns from the right table.
RIGHT JOIN (or RIGHT OUTER JOIN): Similar to the LEFT JOIN, but it returns all records from the right table and the matched records from the left table. Again, NULL values are returned for columns from the left table if there is no match.
FULL JOIN (or FULL OUTER JOIN): This join returns all records when there is a match in either left or right table records. It combines the results of both LEFT and RIGHT joins.
CROSS JOIN: This join returns the Cartesian product of the two tables, meaning it combines every row from the first table with every row from the second table.

Understanding these joins is crucial for effective data retrieval and manipulation in SQL ³⁵.
