Left and Right Outer Joins

Outer joins can be split into two types:

  1. Left outer joins
  2. Right outer joins

To understand the difference between left and right outer joins, consider the following syntax:



SELECT ...
FROM table1, table2
...


Assume the tables are to be joined on table1.column1 and table2.column2.

Assume table1 contains a row with a null value in column1.

To perform a left outer join, the WHERE clause is

WHERE table1.column1 = table2.column2 (+);

In a left outer join, the outer join operator is actually on the right of the equality operator.

Next, assume table2 contains a row with a null value in column2.

To perform a right outer join, you switch the position of the outer join operator to the left of the equality operator and the WHERE clause becomes WHERE table1.column1 (+) = table2.column2;

Depending on whether table1 and table2 both contain rows with null values, you get different results depending on whether you use a left or right outer join.

Understanding Outer Joins

  1. An outer join retrieves a row even when one of the columns in the join contains a null value.
  2. You perform an outer join by supplying the outer join operator in the join condition.
  3. The outer join operator is a plus character in parentheses (+).
  4. The outer join operator (+) is on the column that contains the null value.
