Right Join in SQL

July 23, 2019

Right join in SQL


Join enables data merging from tables i.e used to query data from multiple tables

How right join works

  • Right Join always Returns all rows from the right table
    Matching records from the left side table
  • Null values in the place of non-matching rows in another table

Syntax

select col1,col2.... 
from 
tab1 
RIGHT JOIN 
tab2 
on tab1.colname=tab2.colname
Right Join in SQL

Consider two tables emp and dept table Emp table
