How To Write a Query with a Full Outer Join?
If you want to query from two tables with a full outer join, you can use the FULL OUTER JOIN ...
ON clause in the FROM clause. The following query returns output with a full outer join from two
tables: departments and employees. The join condition is that the manager ID in the departments
table equals to the employee ID in the employees table:
SQL> set NULL 'NULL'
SQL> SELECT d.department_name, e.first_name, e.last_name
FROM departments d FULL OUTER JOIN employees e
ON d.manager_id = e.employee_id;
DEPARTMENT_NAME FIRST_NAME LAST_NAME

Note that a right outer join may return two sets of extra rows: one set from the first (left) table that
do not satisfy the join condition, and the other set from the second (right) table that do not satisfy
the join condition.
