Explain SELF JOIN ?
Answers were Sorted based on User's Feedback
SELF JOIN is like joining a table with itself, to get a recursive series of data within the table. Like in Employee table to get Manager details you need to join Manager ID with Employee ID in the same table, like:
SELECT
E.EmployeeID,
E.EmployeeName,
E.ManagerID,
M.EmployeeName as ManagerName
FROM Employee E
LEFT JOIN Employee M
ON M.EmployeeID = E.ManagerID
