In an left outer join, all rows from the first table mentioned in the SQL query is selected, regardless whether there is a matching row on the second table mentioned in the SQL query. Let's assume that we have the following two tables, Table Store_Information
store_name Sales Date Los Angeles $1500 Jan-05-1999 San Diego Los Angeles Boston $250 Jan-07-1999 $300 Jan-08-1999 $700 Jan-08-1999

We want to find out sales by store, and we want to see the results for all stores regardless whether there is a sale in the Store_Information table. To do this, we can use the following SQL statement using LEFT OUTER JOIN: SELECT A1.store_name STORE, SUM(A2.Sales) SALES FROM Geography A1 LEFT OUTER JOIN Store_Information A2 ON A1.store_name = A2.store_name GROUP BY A1.store_name Result: STORE Los Angeles San Diego New York Boston SALES $1800 $250 NULL $700

By using LEFT OUTER JOIN, all four rows in the Geography table is listed. Since there is no match for "New York" in the Store_Information table, the Sales total for "New York" is NULL. Note that it is NULL and not 0, as NULL indicates there is no match. SQL Cross Join >> Link to this page: If you find this page useful, we encourage you to link to this page.
