SQL JOINs are the tools to bring this data together.  \nSQL JOIN is the best tool to combine data from multiple resources!  \nIn this article, I am discussing the most commonly and frequently asked SQL interview questions around SQL JOINs . I am also sharing examples to demo the concepts .  \nStarting with the most basic and easiest question to answer.  \nWhat is SQL JOIN and what are different SQL JOINs?  \nIn SQL, JOIN clause is used to combine rows from two or more tables, based on a related column between them.  \nJOIN creates a logical bonding between the different tables and gets the required data from these tables efficiently.  \nDepending on what kind of logical bonding is needed between multiple tables, there are four basic types of SQL joins:  \n1 . INNER JOIN  \n2 . LEFT OUTER JOIN  \n3 . RIGHT OUTER JOIN  \n4 . FULL OUTER JOIN  \nThis question helps the interviewer to understand if the candidate has a basic understanding of JOINs . Well, this question usually has one or more of the below as follow-up questions .  \nWhat is the Difference between INNER JOIN and OUTER JOIN?  \nThe primary difference between the two is, while joining 2 tables,  \nINNER JOIN extracts only the rows which are common in both tables and OUTER JOIN extracts also the rows which are not common in both tables in addition to common rows between the both.  \nNow, let us see how these JOINs work with the data using the examples below,  \nINNER JOIN  \nLogically, this returns the intersection of two datasets i. e. only the rows or records which are part of both the tables .  \nfor example, I have dummy data about students .  \nDummy Students Data | Image by Author And dummy data about orders .  \nDummy Orders Data | Image by Author Inner Join can be used as below,  \nSELECT student .Student_id , orders . order_id , orders . order_date FROM student INNER JOIN orders ON student .Student_id = orders .Student_id ORDER BY student .Student_id ;  \nOutput of Inner JOIN | Image by Author  \nAs you can see above, the query returned all rows from both tables where there is a matching Student_id value in both the student and orders tables .  \nThe rows where Student_id is equal to 8000 and 9000 in the student table would be omitted since they do not exist in both tables . The row where the order_id is 5 from the order s table would be omitted since the Student_id of NULL does not exist in the student table.  \nUsing Venn Diagrams it can be viewed as—  \nImage by Author  \nOUTER JOIN  \nOUTER JOIN creates the result-set by combining results of both LEFT JOIN and RIGHT JOIN. The result-set will contain all the rows from both tables . For the rows for which there is no matching, the result-set will contain NULL values .  \nFor example, Using the same student table as the previous example:  \nAnd the orders table with the following data:  \nOuter Join can be used as below,  \nSELECT Student .Student_id , orders . order_id , orders . order_date FROM Student OUTER JOIN orders ON Student .Student_id = orders .Student_id ORDER BY Student .Student_id ;  \nThere will be 7 records selected. These are the results that you should see:  \nThis OUTER JOIN example would return all rows from the order s table and all rows from the student table.  \nA NULL value would be extended to those fields in the result set whenever the joined condition is not met. This means that if a Student_id value in the student table does not exist in the order s table, all fields in the order s table will display as NULL in the result set. Also, if a Student_id value in the order s table, does not exist in the student table, all fields in the student table will display as NULL in the result set.  \nAs you can see, the rows where the Student_id is 8000 and 9000 would be included but the order_id and ord","cbCaimfmVxrO6y0X","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaimfmVxrO6y0X","pdf",151354,"English","# Introduction on SQL Join\n## Core Types of SQL Joins\n# INNER JOIN\n## Difference between INNER JOIN and OUTER JOIN\n# OUTER JOIN\n## Explanation with example queries\n# LEFT JOIN and RIGHT JOIN\n## Difference between LEFT JOIN and RIGHT JOIN","[{\"question\":\"What is SQL JOIN and what are the different SQL JOIN types?\",\"answer\":\"In SQL, the JOIN clause combines rows from two or more tables based on a related column.
