# Join Data

Enables joining data between tables in a variety of join types. Join data requires any combination of two tables, Child datasets or data views to be placed and connected on the Transformation Canvas. Join Types include:&#x20;

#### Inner Join&#x20;

Returns values that have matching values in both tables&#x20;

#### Left Outer Join&#x20;

Returns values from the left table and the matched records from the right table.&#x20;

#### Right Outer Join&#x20;

Returns values from the right table and the matched records from the left table.&#x20;

#### Full Outer Join&#x20;

Returns values when there is a match in either the left or right table.&#x20;

#### Cross Join&#x20;

Creates a row to connect every left table row to every right table row.

Output will be all columns from the left table followed by all columns from the right table.
