Introduction: Unleashing the Power of Joins
Joining tables is a fundamental operation in relational databases, and PostgreSQL offers a rich set of join types to cater to various data retrieval needs. In this guide, we’ll embark on a journey to master the art of creating masterful joins in PostgreSQL. From INNER JOIN to LEFT JOIN and beyond, we’ll cover it all.

Before we dive into the specifics, let’s ensure we have a solid understanding of the basics. In the world of joins, we have two primary tables: the “left” table and the “right” table. The goal is to combine rows from these tables based on a related column.
Here, we’re using an INNER JOIN to retrieve employee data along with their respective departments. The `ON` clause specifies the condition for the join.
