thanks for your reply

but i just want to know the reason why Right Join is introduced when there is Left Join present, what is the logic between placing the table to left or right of the join, is there any difference when to use left and when to use right joins?

Actually an interviewer asked me this question so since then i am looking for its answer

Think of this example:
SQL
SELECT  *
FROM    LeftTable
RIGHT JOIN MiddleTable USING SomeID
LEFT JOIN RightTable USING SomeOtherID

It could be done using to left joins, but it's easier to understand this way
So the answer is clarity.
