from Emp,Dept
where Emp.Deptno=Dept.deptno and dname='SALES';

O/P

ROWNUM	EMPNO	ENAME	DEPTNO	DNAME	ANNSAL	LOC
1	7698	BLAKE	30	SALES	34200	CHICAGO
2	7499	ALLEN	30	SALES	19200	CHICAGO

We are having 6 rows in emp table from the sales department, with dept no=30 and matches with deptno=30 which is appended with the data in dept table as a result total of 6 rows are displayed
