2. JOIN Types on Relationships
There will be instances in your queries where you will want results from a table even if they have no corresponding entries in another table.
By manipulating the JOIN types on the relationships in your queries, you can achieve this goal.

3. JOIN Types on Relationships
Create a query to count the number of each albums for each genre in the music database.
What do you notice about the number of results from the query and the number of genres actually defined in the Genre table?

4. JOIN Types on Relationships
Option 2 will create a LEFT JOIN
Will force all entries from the left table to appear
Option 3 will create a RIGHT JOIN
Will force all entries from the right table to appear
Left table Right table

5. JOIN Types on Relationships
Run the query again and take note of the number of results
