Hi,

Read the previous post of this tutorial series before this.

SQL Right Outer Join in Oracle SQL | Oracle SQL Tutorials -22

 

 

 

The Full Outer Join

The Full Outer Join is used to list the records when there is a match in either first or other table.

 

 

Full (Outer) JOIN Syntax

Full Outer Join syntax is as follows.

 

SELECT column1,column2,column(n)...
 FROM table1 
FULL OUTER JOIN table2 
ON table1.column_name = table2.column_name;

SELECT column1,column2,column(n)...
FROM table1
FULL JOIN table2
ON table1.column_name = table2.column_name;

You can use full outer join as follows. Full outer join and Full join clause run the same as follows.

 

SQL> SELECT first_name,e.last_name, e.department_id, d.department_name
  2     FROM   hr.employees e FULL OUTER JOIN hr.departments d
  3*    ON   (e.department_id = d.department_id)
