## SQL Right Join

### Example of use
For this guide we'll discuss the SQL RIGHT JOIN.

### Right Join
The RIGHT JOIN keyword returns all records from the right table (table2), and the matched records from the left table(table1) . The result is NULL from the left side, when there is no match.

```sql
SELECT *
FROM table1
RIGHT JOIN table2
ON table1.column_name = table2.column_name;
```
