An SQL join clause - corresponding to a join operation in relational algebra - combines columns from one or more tables in a relational database. It creates a set that can be saved as a table or used as it is. A JOIN is a means for combining columns from one (self-join) or more tables by using values common to each. ANSI-standard SQL specifies five types of JOIN: INNER, LEFT OUTER, RIGHT OUTER, FULL OUTER and CROSS. As a special case, a table (base table, view, or joined table) can JOIN to itself in a self-join.
A programmer declares a JOIN statement to identify rows for joining. If the evaluated predicate is true, the combined row is then produced in the expected format, a row set or a temporary table.
