Now we want to list all the orders with containing persons - if any, from the tables above.
We use the following SELECT statement:
SELECT Persons.LastName, Persons.FirstName, Orders.OrderNo
FROM Persons
RIGHT JOIN Orders
ON Persons.P_Id=Orders.P_Id
ORDER BY Persons.LastName |
The result-set will look like this:
| LastName |
FirstName |
OrderNo |
| Hansen |
Ola |
22456 |
| Hansen |
Ola |
24562 |
| Pettersen |
Kari |

The RIGHT JOIN keyword returns all the rows from the right table (Orders), even if there are no matches in the left table (Persons).
