Dependent on the outer query. References columns or relies on a value from the outer query. Is executed repeatedly, once for each row in the outer query.

Identification
Another way of combining data from multiple tables
Joins
Syntax
Inner Join
SELECT empName, deptName FROM Employee e INNER JOIN Department d ON e.deptId = d.deptId;
Syntax
Left Outer Join
SELECT empName, deptName FROM Employee e LEFT OUTER JOIN Department d ON e.deptId = d.deptId;
Syntax
Right Outer Join
SELECT empName, deptName FROM Employee e RIGHT OUTER JOIN Department d ON e.deptId = d.deptId;
Syntax
Full Outer Join
SELECT empName, deptName FROM Employee e FULL OUTER JOIN Department d ON e.deptId = d.deptId;
Syntax
Union
SELECT e.empName, d.deptName FROM employee e LEFT OUTER JOIN department d ON e.deptId = d.deptId UNION SELECT e.empName, d.deptName FROM employee e RIGHT OUTER JOIN department d ON e.deptId = d.deptId;
Syntax
Union All
SELECT e.empName, d.deptName FROM employee e LEFT OUTER JOIN department d ON e.deptId = d.deptId UNION ALL SELECT e.empName, d.deptName FROM employee e RIGHT OUTER JOIN department d ON e.deptId = d.deptId;
Syntax
Alter and Drop
ALTER TABLE Employee DROP CONSTRAINT empFk;
Syntax
Deleting a Database
DROP TABLE Employee;
Syntax
Check Constraint
ALTER TABLE Employee
ADD CONSTRAINT length
CHECK (LENGHT(deptId) >=3);
Identification
Retrieves records that have matching values in both tables based on a specified condition, only the rows with matches in both tables are included in the result set
Inner Join
Identification
Returns all records from the left table and any matching records from the right table. If there’s no match, NULL values are returned for the right table’s columns.
Left Outer Join
Identification
Returns all records from the right table along with any matching records from the left table. If there’s no match, NULL values are returned for the left table’s columns.
Right Outer Join
Identification
combines the results of two or more SELECT queries into a single result set, removing duplicate rows
Union
