Combines all rows of the left-specified table reference to all rows of the right-specified table reference in the result. A cross join is a Cartesian product between two table references. A cross join is similar to the basic join expression but without the WHERE clause. This is also called a Cartesian product. Following is an example of the basic join expression using the comma-separated syntax: SQL> SELECT * cont> FROM TABLE1, TABLE2; Using the CROSS JOIN clause, the previous example would appear as follows: SQL> SELECT * cont> FROM TABLE1 CROSS JOIN TABLE2;
