The "Persons" table:
| P_Id |
LastName |
FirstName |
Address |
City |
| 1 |
Hansen |

Sandnes |
| 2 |
Svendson |
Tove |
Borgvn 23 |

| 3 |

The "Orders" table:

| 1 |
77895 |

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 |

24562 |
| Pettersen |
