Our SQL joins poster is the perfect cheat sheet to learn about how to connect tables.
SQL joins are essential for querying data across multiple tables, helping you bring together related information. Whether you’re an SQL novice or a seasoned pro, understanding the different types of joins is crucial. To make this easier, we’ve created a free SQL Joins Poster that visually explains all the common join types with clear diagrams and examples. Download your copy at Stedman Solutions to keep a handy reference by your side.
The most common SQL join is the INNER JOIN, which retrieves records where the keys from both tables match. For example, if you’re working with a table of customers and their orders, an inner join ensures you only see the customers who have placed orders. This join is perfect when you need tightly related data and want to exclude null matches.
The LEFT JOIN (or LEFT OUTER JOIN) retrieves all records from the left table and only matching records from the right. If no match is found, the result will include nulls for the right table’s columns. This is invaluable when you need to see all records in one table and any related data in another, such as finding customers who haven’t placed orders.
In contrast, the RIGHT JOIN works like a left join but reverses the focus. It retrieves all rows from the right table and matches from the left. Similarly, a FULL OUTER JOIN combines both left and right joins, showing all data from both tables, whether there’s a match or not. These join types are less common but crucial for specific use cases, like comparing datasets.

In this blog post, we’ll break down what an inner …
