Different Types Of JOINS:
Most of the joins you will come across are based on
equality, with the equijoin being the most dominant.
In this chapter you learned about equijoins; there are
other types of joins you must become familiar with, most
notably the self-join, the nonequijoin, and the outer join.
Equijoin or Inner Join (Equality) : Traditional comma-
separated join or ANSI JOIN syntax (including optional
INNER keyword).
Natural Join (Equality) : NATURAL JOIN keyword.
Cross-Join or Cartesian Product (No join condition):
Traditional comma-separated with the missing join condition
in the WHERE clause or CROSS JOIN keyword.
Self-Join (Equality): Equijoin or Inner Join.
Outer Join (left, right, full):(Equality and extending the
result set): "Complex Joins" OUTER JOIN keywords or outer
join operator(+).
Non-Equijoin (Nonequality of values): "Complex Joins"
Traditional comma-separated join or ANSI join syntax with
the ON clause.
The join criteria is not based on equality.
