SQL JOIN

Learn how to use SQL JOIN clause to combine the two tables and fetch record from those tables. Combine rows of two tables using the JOIN clause based on the same column on both the tables.

The common fields between the two tables can be used to perform the JOIN operation. You have to use the JOIN clause to access one or more table and fetch the data using the SQL SELECT statement.

There are five types of SQL JOIN given below in the list.

1. Inner Join
2. Left Outer Join
3. Right Outer Join
4. Full Outer Join
5. Cross Join

You can learn about them in later tutorials given in the next pages with the examples and explanations. If you want to understand the JOIN clause with examples, keep reading this page tutorial.

How to Use SQL JOIN to Combine Two Tables

Suppose there are two tables, one for Purchaser and other for the Seller. Below are the tables you have to use to combine using the SQL JOIN clause.

Table Name: Purchaser

The above table contains the 4 columns with 4 rows of data.

Service_Id	Seller_Name	Purchaser_Name	Plot_No
10001	Rock	Bill	26
10002	Sanky	Nick	27
10003	Kurt	Loony	28
