$ join is a condition that lins the data in separate but related tables. "he tablesusually have a parent'child relationship. If a #uery does not contain a join, thedatabase returns a result set that contains all possible combinations of the rows in the#uery tables. )uch a result set is nown as a !artesian product and is rarely useful.
