Join Types Class

My Join Types Class is a great way to learn each of the different types of joins. Including how to use them and common use case scenarios.

The course kickstarts with a basic understanding of the SELECT statement, serving as a cornerstone for the learning journey.

You will be introduced to various JOIN types, including but not limited to INNER JOIN, LEFT OUTER JOIN, RIGHT OUTER JOIN, and FULL OUTER JOIN. Delve into more complex JOIN types such as SEMI JOIN, ANTI SEMI JOIN, CROSS JOIN, CROSS APPLY, and OUTER APPLY, and familiarize yourself with the contexts and scenarios where these may come in handy.

In this course, you’ll also learn how to enhance your query performance by replacing the NOT IN clause with a JOIN. Get comfortable with exclusions in LEFT OUTER JOIN, RIGHT OUTER JOIN, and FULL OUTER JOIN and understand the unique usage of EQUi versus NON-EQUI JOIN.

To round up your knowledge, you’ll discover the use of multiple INNER JOINS in a single query and the combination of INNER and OUTER JOINS. We will also be looking at the SET operations EXCEPT, INTERSECT, and UNION to give you a 360-degree view of TSQL JOIN operations.

Join Socks

Want to impress at that next DBA or Database Developer interview. Imagine being asked that age old database interview questions to explain the difference between and Inner Join and and Outer Join, and you refer to your socks for the venn diagrams to show the difference between the two. That hiring manager will sure remember that over the next candidate.
