    CPA · Question 29 · Area I: Information Systems

    A developer is writing a SQL query to combine customer data from the 'Sales' table and the 'Support' table. They want to see ALL customers from the 'Sales' table, and matching support tickets if they exist. If a customer has no support tickets, they should still appear in the list. Which JOIN type should be used?

    Answer options:

    A.

    INNER JOIN

    B.

    RIGHT JOIN

    C.

    LEFT JOIN

    D.

    CROSS JOIN

    How to approach this question

    Visualize the tables. Left = Sales. Right = Support. You want everything from the Left.

    Full Answer

    C.LEFT JOIN✓ Correct
    A LEFT JOIN returns all records from the left table (Sales), and the matched records from the right table (Support). The result is NULL from the right side if there is no match.

    Common mistakes

    Using INNER JOIN (which would exclude customers with no tickets).
