    I think best way to learn about Inner and Outer Join is by looking at the result set. Do Following.

    1- Connect as SCOTT/TIGER

    2- Equi Join
    Select e.ename, e.sal, e.empno, d.dname, d.deptno
    from emp e, dept d
    where e.deptno = d.deptno

    3- Inner Join
    Select e.ename, e.sal, e.empno, d.dname, d.deptno
    from emp e, dept d
    where e.deptno(+) = d.deptno
    (This will also give you the deptno that does not have any employee such as Deptno 40)


    4- Update emp
    set deptno = NULL
    where job = 'PRESIDENT'
    (This will take out the president from the deptno 10)


    5- Outer Join
    Select e.ename, e.sal, e.empno, d.dname, d.deptno
    from emp e, dept d
    where e.deptno = d.deptno(+)
    (This will give you the employee who is not associated with any deptno such as President)

    Also look at the following website
