Assume you have two tables A and B.
⦁ Inner join of A and B gives the intersect of A and B. Inner join requires atleast one match in both tables. (i.e., in A and B)
⦁ Outer join of A and B gives the unoin of A and B. Outer join returns all the record from the left table even though they don't have any common record.
Example:
Assume you have two tables A and B. Both tables have one column in common:
Table A Table B
A B
ID ID
1 6
2 1
3 5
4 2
Inner join :
It results the intersection of the two tables, i.e. the two rows they have in common.
select * from A INNER JOIN B on A.ID = B.ID;
The result will be...
1 1
2 2
Left outer join :
It will return all rows from A , plus any common rows from B.
select * from A LEFT OUTER JOIN B on A.ID = B.ID
Result :
1 1
2 2
3 null
4 null
Full outer join :
It will return the union of A and B, i.e. All the rows in A and all the rows in B.
select * from A FULL OUTER JOIN B on A.ID = B.ID;
1 1
