inner join

database (Commonly "join", but see also "outer join") A

relational database operation which selects rows from two

tables such that the value in one column of the first

table also appears in a certain column of the second table.

An example in SQL:

select * from A, B

where A.x = B.y

The column names (x and y in this example) are often, but not

necessarily, the same.
