Introduction
In addition to managing individual tables, the ability to join tables is a critical skill for working with relational databases. By learning table joins, such as INNER JOIN, LEFT JOIN, RIGHT JOIN, FULL OUTER JOIN, and NATURAL JOIN, you can efficiently combine data from multiple tables to derive meaningful insights and streamline complex queries. This tutorial guides you through these essential concepts, equipping you with the knowledge to handle real-world data scenarios effectively.
What to expect?
In this section, you learn how to combine data from multiple related tables using various types of SQL joins. You explore usage of INNER JOIN, LEFT JOIN, RIGHT JOIN, FULL OUTER JOIN, and NATURAL JOIN to retrieve connected data across tables. Through practical examples using the sales database, you gain the skills to query and interpret relationships between entities like customers, orders, and employees.
