In SQL, there are three types of JOIN:
INNER JOIN returns only the rows that are present in both tables involved in the join.
OUTER JOIN returns all rows from one table, even if they do not have corresponding rows in the other table.
CROSS JOIN returns all possible combinations of rows from two tables.
Differences between the types of JOIN

Used when you need to get only the data that is common to two tables.
OUTER JOIN

Used when you need to get all data from one table, regardless of whether they are in the other table.
CROSS JOIN
