What is a join? Explain different types of joins?

Answer Posted / venkatesh

Hi everybody,

whatever NareshKumar explained about the joins is right
except the Shortcut join.

4) Shortcut Joins
Join providing an alternative path between two tables,
bypassing intermediate tables, "leading to the same result,
regardless of direction". Optimizes query time by cutting
long join paths as short as possible.

In the above defination (which is mentioned in the inverted
commas)the result wont be same. It is different.

Example:
There is 4 tables
A,B,C,D

The join in between these 4 tables are like this.

A--B--C--D

Here if I drag A and D tables then I will get 6 rows for
example.

Now Make a shortcut join between A and D

Now if I drag A and D tables then I will get more than 6
rows.Why because

In first join the data is filtering from A to D like below
First A to B then B to C after that C to D.

But in Shortcut there is direct join A to D.Here the data
is not filtering.

Thanks,
Venky
