ASQL Join is an instruction to combine data from two sets of data (tables). SQL is a special-purpose programming language designed for managing information in a relational database management system (RDBMS). The word relational here is key; it specifies that the database management system is organized in such a way that there are clear relations defined between different sets of data.
