LEFT JOIN vs. LEFT OUTER JOIN in SQL Server

Question

What is the difference between LEFT JOIN and LEFT OUTER JOIN?

Answer 1

There are only 3 joins:

• A) Cross Join = Cartesian (E.g: Table A, Table B)
• B) Inner Join = JOIN (E.g: Table A Join/Inner Join Table B)

• C) Outer join:

     There are three type of outer join
     1)  Left Outer Join     = Left Join
     2)  Right Outer Join    = Right Join
     3)  Full Outer Join     = Full Join    
  

Hope it'd help.
