• LEFT JOIN

SELECT [select_list] FROM TableA A LEFT JOIN TableB B ON A.Key=B.Key
SELECT [select_list] FROM TableA A LEFT JOIN TableB B ON A.Key=B.Key WHERE B.Key IS NULL

• RIGHT JOIN

SELECT [select_list] FROM TableA A RIGHT JOIN TableB B ON A.Key=B.Key
SELECT [select_list] FROM TableA A RIGHT JOIN TableB B ON A.Key=B.Key WHERE A.Key IS NULL

• INNER JOIN

SELECT [select_list] FROM TableA A INNER JOIN TableB B ON A.Key=B.Key

• FULL JOIN

SELECT [select_list] FROM TableA A FULL OUTER JOIN TableB B ON A.Key=B.Key
SELECT [select_list] FROM TableA A FULL OUTER JOIN TableB B ON A.Key=B.Key WHERE A.Key IS NULL OR B.Key IS NULL
