A join that links two tables, one of which has rows that do not match those in the common column of the other table

Suppose we have two tables.Now with the help of outer join,we can add those rows of a table which doesn't matchs the join condition.e.gtable a table bname roll name roll m 1 m 1n 2 n 2o 3 g 7p 4 h 8so the sql for adding all information of table a into the result will be:select name,roll from a,b where a.name=b.name(+);just run the sql to see the result .you can alternatively use the + on the left side to view another result.
