Questions tagged [outer-join]

An outer join defines a relationship between two tables where all records from one or both tables are returned regardless of the existence of a matching key-field in the other table. A full outer join combines the results of both tables. A left or right join returns all the records from the first or second specified table, respectively. NULLS are filled in for matches on either side. A self-join compares a table to a copy of itself.

A full combines the results of both tables. A left or right returns all the records from the first or second specified table, respectively. NULLS are filled in for matches on either side. A compares a table to a copy of itself.
