Answer from AI

In PostgreSQL, the following main types of table joins are used:

  • INNER JOIN — returns only the rows that match the join condition in both tables.
  • LEFT JOIN (LEFT OUTER JOIN) — returns all rows from the left table and the matching rows from the right; if there are no matches, the right table fields will be NULL.
  • RIGHT JOIN (RIGHT OUTER JOIN) — similar to LEFT JOIN, but for the right table.
  • FULL JOIN (FULL OUTER JOIN) — returns all rows from both tables, filling NULL where there are no matches.
  • CROSS JOIN — Cartesian product of two tables, returning all possible combinations of rows.

Example query with INNER JOIN:

SELECT a.id, b.name
FROM table_a a
INNER JOIN table_b b ON a.b_id = b.id;
