# The SQL JOIN Clause

The JOIN clause is used to combine rows from two or more tables, based on a related column between them.

Here are the different types of JOINs in SQL:

****(INNER) JOIN****: Returns only rows that have matching values in both tables
****LEFT (OUTER) JOIN****: Returns all rows from the left table, and only the matched rows from the right table
****RIGHT (OUTER) JOIN****: Returns all rows from the right table, and only the matched rows from the left table
****FULL (OUTER) JOIN****: Returns all rows when there is a match in either the left or right table
