💡 Model Answer
With the provided data:
TableA rows: (1), (1), (2), (3), (4)
TableB rows: (1), (2), (2), (4)
• Inner Join on id:
- id=1: 2 rows from A × 1 row from B = 2 rows
- id=2: 1 row from A × 2 rows from B = 2 rows
- id=4: 1 row from A × 1 row from B = 1 row
Total = 5 rows.
• Left Join (A left B):
- id=1: 2 rows (matches)
- id=2: 1 row (match)
- id=3: 1 row (no match → NULL for B)
- id=4: 1 row (match)
Total = 5 rows.
• Right Join (A right B):
- id=1: 1 row (match)
- id=2: 2 rows (matches)
- id=4: 1 row (match)
Total = 4 rows.
• Full Outer Join:
Combine all unique ids: 1, 2, 3, 4.
- id=1: 2 rows from A × 1 from B = 2 rows
- id=2: 1 from A × 2 from B = 2 rows
- id=3: 1 from A × 0 from B = 1 row (NULL for B)
- id=4: 1 from A × 1 from B = 1 row
Total = 6 rows.
These counts illustrate how duplicates and missing matches affect each join type.
