Which of the following join types does the generated SQL below illustrate? select Manager.Manager as Manager, Product.Product as Product from datasource_name.database_name.schema.Manager Manager datasource_name.database_name.schema.Product Product
-
Inner join
-
Union join
-
Outer join
-
Cross join
D
Correct answer
Explanation
The SQL shows a SELECT statement with two tables in the FROM clause but no JOIN condition or WHERE clause linking them together. This syntax produces a Cartesian product (cross join), where every row from the Manager table is combined with every row from the Product table. Cross joins are rarely intentional in reporting and typically indicate missing join conditions.
