What is the difference between INNER JOIN and LEFT JOIN in SQL?
INNER JOIN returns only the rows that have matching values in both tables, while LEFT JOIN returns all rows from the left table and matched rows from the right table.
Can you give me an example of each?
Sure! For INNER JOIN, if you have two tables, A and B, it will return rows where A.id = B.id. For LEFT JOIN, it will return all rows from A, and matched rows from B, filling with NULLs where there's no match.
What happens if there are no matches in both tables?
With INNER JOIN, you get no results. With LEFT JOIN, you still get all rows from the left table, but the right table's columns will show NULL.
Are there other types of joins I should know about?
Yes, there are RIGHT JOIN, FULL OUTER JOIN, and CROSS JOIN, each serving different purposes in combining data.
