RIGHT JOIN

Description

The RIGHT JOIN keyword returns all records from the right table (table2), and the matching records from the left table (table1). The result is NULL records from the left side, if there is no match.

note

In some databases RIGHT JOIN is called RIGHT OUTER JOIN.

Syntax

> SELECT column_name(s)
FROM table1
RIGHT JOIN table2
ON table1.column_name=table2.column_name;
