SQL CROSS JOIN

The CROSS JOIN which is also known as Cartesian Join is used to return the set of records by the Cartesian product of the joined tables.
  • Syntax of CROSS JOIN –

SELECT Table1.column1,Table2.column1,Table3.column1,...,TableN.columnN FROM Table1,Table2,...;

Example – Consider these two tables the Product table and the Manager table. Demo Table –
