Here i am retriving the data from 3 tables. there must be a one column which is comman in all table that is called as foreign key.
in our table "EMP_NO" is foreign key for "TABLE1 & TABLE2" and "EMP_DEPARTMENT_ID " is foreign key for "TABLE2 & TABLE3"
TABLE1
--------------------------------------
EMP_NO EMP_NAME
1 MUNNI
2 SHEELA
3 SHALU
4 JILEBIBAI
--------------------------------------
TABLE2
-------------------------------------------------------------------
EMP_NO EMP_DEPARTMENT_ID EMP_DEPT
1 10 IT
2 20 COMP
3 30 MECH
4 50 BOLLYWOOD
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
TABLE3
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
EMP_DEPARTMENT_ID EMP_ADDRESS
10 DAHIWADI 1
20 DAHIWADI 2
30 DAHIWADI 3
40 DAHIWADI 4
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Query->
SELECT a.emp_name
, b.emp_dept
, c.emp_address
FROM table1 a
, table2 b
, table3 c
WHERE
a.emp_id=b.emp_id
and b.emp_departmet_id=c.emp_departmet_id;
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In above query a, b, c are the alias.
and conditons given in where clause are the simple joins.
Actualy there are main 3 types of join in oracle.
1 LEFT Join.
2 RIGHT Join.
3 NATURAL Join
In oracle joins are declared using (+) sign.
for ex--
Left Join---
WHERE
a.emp_id (+)=b.emp_id
and b.emp_departmet_id(+)=c.emp_departmet_id;
RIGHT Join---
WHERE
a.emp_id=b.emp_id(+)
and b.emp_departmet_id=c.emp_departmet_id(+);
***When u use (+) sign it means that query retrive all records from that table and only saimilar records from other table**
NOTE---Joins syntax in SQL and ORACLE are diffrent.
to see JOINS of SQL u can VISIT THIS site....

I hope u will get more info from there.
i also refer that site.
Thank you............................
