Output without the JOIN condition. How is it possible ?

I have two tables. Is it required to write join condition to retrieve the data from both?

But when I wrote a select statement like select end_date, account from detail, custom I got the output, in which end_date is from detail and account is from custom table.

Without join condition also can we retrieve the data? I got the output without the JOIN condition. How is it possible ?

How is it possible to retrive data from more than one table with out join.

R u using any sub -query.

you have used sub-query in your select clause. It would be something like

select d.end_date, (select c.account from custom c where c.a=d.a)
from detail d;

Yes it is possible. Suppose there are 2 tables employees and orders [u]employees: [/u] [u]orders:[/u] emp_id emp_name prod_id product emp_id 01 a 234 printer 01 02 b 657 table 03 03 c 865 chair 04 04 d now select the emp_name and product with out using join: select employees.emp_name, orders.product from employees,orders where employees.emp_id=orders.emp_id using join: select employees.emp_name,orders.product from employees innerjoin orders on employees.emp_id=orders.emp_id output will be same for both quiries.

01 a 234 printer 01 02 b 657 table 03 03 c 865 chair 04
04 d now select the emp_name and product with out using join: select employees.emp_name, orders.product from employees,orders where employees.emp_id=orders.emp_id using join: select employees.emp_name,orders.product from employees innerjoin orders on employees.emp_id=orders.emp_id output will be same for both quiries.

Suppose there are 2 tables Employees and Orders

[U]Employees: [/U]
Emp_Id Emp_Name
01 A
02 B
03 C
04 D


[U]Orders:[/U]
Prod_Id Product Emp_Id
234 Printer 01
657 Table 03
865 Chair 04

Now Select the Emp_Name and Product With out using Join:

select Employees.Emp_Name, Orders.Product from Employees,Orders where Employees.Emp_Id=Orders.Emp_Id

Using Join:

select Employees.Emp_Name,Orders.Product from Employees innerJoin Orders ON Employees.Emp_Id=Orders.Emp_Id

OutPut will be same for both quiries.
