Diff. b/w Full Outer Join And Cross Join?..

Answer / saurav kumar

Full outer join will give common + uncommon records from
both the table.
Suppose in TableA I have 5 records and TableB have 6
records. Both the table have 4 common records, means 4
records of TableA is common with TableB.
Then full outer join will give 4(common) + 1 (TableA)+ 2
(TableB) = 7 records.

Whereas Cross Join will give 5(TableA) * 6(TableB) = 30
records, also we can't put 'ON' condition with cross join.
