We can join two tables in SQL based on a common column between them or based on some specified condition. There are different types of JOIN available to join two SQL tables.Here, we will discuss about the FULL join on two tables. In the FULL JOIN, all the records from both the tables are included in the result. For the records for which no matching is found, NULL is inserted on the either sides.SyntaxSELECT column1, column2... FROM table_1 FULL JOIN table_2 ON condition;Let there be two tables, “Students” and “Department” as folllows −Students+----------+--------------+-----------+ |    id    | Student_name | ...

We can join two tables in SQL based on a common column between them or based on some specified condition. There are different types of JOIN available to join two SQL tables.Here, we will discuss about the RIGHT join on two tables.In the RIGHT JOIN, all the records from the second table or the right table are always included in the result. From the left table, the matching records are joined to the records of the right table. If there is no matching record found for a row in right table, then None is joined with that record.The tables are ... Read More

We can join two tables in SQL based on a common column between them or based on some specified condition. There are different types of JOIN available to join two SQL tables.Here, we will discuss about the inner join on two tables.JOIN and INNER JOIN both work the same way. The INNER JOIN matches each row in one table with every row in other table and allows to combine the rows from both the tables which either have somecommon column or which satisfy some condition which is specified.When applying join among two tables, we need to specify the condition based ...

In this scenario you will get an error while executing the command since the table you wish to delete is not present.This error can be avoided by checking ... Read More

Inside SQL tables, columns usually contain duplicate values. We may sometimes need to get only the distinct or different values present in a column in our table since the duplicate values makes it difficult for us to analyze the results returned by the query.Example:Suppose, we have a table named Customers which conatins details about our customers, their names, age and country etc. We need to know to which different countries do our customers belong.

The LIMIT is used to specify the number of rows that you want to retrieve. The OFFSET is used to specify the starting position from where the rows are to be fetched. ... Read More
