# [[SQL Right Join]]

## 🎯 한 줄 통찰 (One-line insight)
RIGHT JOIN is LEFT JOIN with the table roles mirrored — it keeps every row from the right table regardless of a match, filling unmatched left-table columns with NULL. [S1]

## 🧠 핵심 개념 (Core concepts)
- **RIGHT JOIN** — returns all rows from the right table (table2), and only the matched rows from the left table (table1); unmatched left-side columns become NULL. [S1]
- **RIGHT JOIN == RIGHT OUTER JOIN** — the `OUTER` keyword is optional. [S1]
- **Syntax** — `SELECT column_name(s) FROM table1 RIGHT JOIN table2 ON table1.column_name = table2.column_name;`. [S1]

## 🧩 추출된 패턴 (Extracted patterns)
- **LEFT/RIGHT symmetry** — a RIGHT JOIN can always be rewritten as a LEFT JOIN by swapping which table is written first; teams often standardize on LEFT JOIN alone for consistency (implied by RIGHT JOIN's comparative rarity in practice, though not stated verbatim in the source). [S1]

## 📖 세부 내용 (Details)
- All employees and any orders they placed (employees preserved even with zero orders): `SELECT Orders.OrderID, Employees.LastName, Employees.FirstName FROM Orders RIGHT JOIN Employees ON Orders.EmployeeID = Employees.EmployeeID ORDER BY Orders.OrderID;`. [S1]
- The RIGHT JOIN keyword returns all records from the right table (Employees), even where there is no match in the left table (Orders). [S1]

## ⚖️ 모순 및 업데이트 (Contradictions & updates)

## 🛠️ 적용 사례 (Applied in summary)
현재 발견된 실제 적용 사례가 없습니다 — "직원별 주문 실적(0건 포함)" 같은 리포트에서 전형적으로 쓰이는 패턴이다. [S1]

## 💻 코드 패턴 (Code patterns)
All rows from right table (SQL):
```sql
SELECT Orders.OrderID, Employees.LastName, Employees.FirstName
FROM Orders
RIGHT JOIN Employees ON Orders.EmployeeID = Employees.EmployeeID
ORDER BY Orders.OrderID;
```
