Joins in SQL for retriving data from two tables

Question

There are two tables A and B. You are retreiving data from both tables where all rows from B table and only matching rows from A table should be displayed. Which of the following types of joins will you apply between A and B tables?

- Inner join
- Left outer join
- Right outer join
- Self join

Answer 1

Easy, I would go with (B).

SELECT * FROM B x
LEFT JOIN A y
  on x.someColName = y.someColname

EDIT: can also use Right join

SELECT * FROM A x
RIGHT OUTER JOIN B y
  on x.someColName = y.someColname

Answer 2

This looks like homework, but it's dead simple enough that I'll just say that you're asking for B LEFT JOIN A.

Answer 3

Join Left

Answer 4

Use left outer hoin or right outer join.

For example, the following satisfy your requirement.

select * from tableB
Left outer join tableA
on tableB.ID= tableA.ID

Or

select * from tableA
Right outer join tableB
on tableA.ID= tableB.ID
