RIGHT JOIN

The RIGHT JOIN command combines matching rows with rows from the right-side table.

Syntax

SELECT column_name(s)
FROM table_1
RIGHT JOIN table_2
  ON table_1.column_name = table_2.column_name;

Every row in the right table is returned in the result set, and if the join condition is not met, then NULL values are used to fill in the columns from the left table.

Example

To create a result set of every row in the students table combined with the transfer_data table where student IDs match. If the ON condition is not met, then NULL values are used to fill in the columns from the transfer_data table.

SELECT
  students.first_name,
  students.last_name,
  students.overall_gpa,
  transfer_data.overal_gpa
FROM students
RIGHT JOIN transfer_data
  ON students.student_id = transfer_data.student_id;

The result set will only include last name, first name, and both GPAs.
