Answer from AI

Main types of table joins (JOIN) in SQL:

  • INNER JOIN — returns only the records that match the condition in both tables.
  • LEFT JOIN (LEFT OUTER JOIN) — returns all records from the left table and matching records from the right; if there are no matches, NULLs will appear on the right side.
  • RIGHT JOIN (RIGHT OUTER JOIN) — similar to LEFT JOIN, but returns all records from the right table.
  • FULL JOIN (FULL OUTER JOIN) — returns all records from both tables, with NULLs in columns where there are no matches.
  • CROSS JOIN — Cartesian product of two tables, returning all possible combinations of rows.

Example of INNER JOIN:

SELECT users.name, orders.id
FROM users
INNER JOIN orders ON users.id = orders.user_id;
