It is the join in which result is obtained by equating two
coloumns with same values of one table for example
emp(eno,ename,mgrno) eno is primary key and mgrno is
recursive foreign key
select e.eno,e.ename,m.mgrno,m.ename mgrname
from emp e, emp m
where m.eno=e.mgrno;
note : one table emp is replicated as m , e and then
result is obtained.

Answer / ram
Normally we joins for retrieve data from more than 1 table
In some cases we need to join 1 table itself to join itself
condition is table having two column with same data type &
size but name are different
In emp table empno & mgrno are two columns example for this
select ename,job,sal,e.empno,m.mgrno from emp e inner join
emp m on m.mgrno=e.empno
