Answer 1

Based on the sample data given in the question, I think you have some records only exist in either table1 or table2. So inner join is not applicable. Please use full outer join as follows,

SELECT NVL(table1.id,table2.id), NVL2(table1.id,table1.name,table2.name), table1.jan, table2.feb 
FROM  table1
FULL OUTER JOIN table2 ON table1.id = table2.id

Answer 2

We join asymmetrical records sets using the OUTER JOIN syntax. A LEFT JOIN will provide the results you want:

SQL> select t72.id
  2         , t72.name
  3         , t34.jan
  4         , t72.feb
  5  from t72
  6       left outer join t34
  7       on ( t72.id = t34.id)
  8  order by t72.id
  9  /

        ID NAME                        JAN        FEB
---------- -------------------- ---------- ----------
      7001 Deven                        22         12
      7002 Clause                       55         15
      7003 Nimesh                                  20
      7004 Monish                       11         21
      7005 Ritesh                                  22

I note you have amended the sample data while I was knocking up the demo.

When both tables have values of ID which the other table lacks we can use a FULL JOIN to retrieve values from both sides:

SQL> select nvl(t72.id, t34.id) as id
  2         , nvl(t72.name, t34.name) as name
  3         , t34.jan
  4         , t72.feb
  5  from t72
  6       full outer join t34
  7       on ( t72.id = t34.id)
  8  order by t72.id
  9  /

        ID NAME                        JAN        FEB
---------- -------------------- ---------- ----------
      7001 Deven                        22         12
      7002 Clause                       55         15
      7003 Nimesh                                  20
      7004 Monish                       11         21
      7005 Ritesh                                  22
      7010 Dipesh                       55
      7070 Dipika                      100

7 rows selected.
