Wait, are we sure about that? What if t2 has no matches?

I’m pretty sure it’s 3 rows if t1 has 3 and t2 has 2 matching IDs.

Definitely! A LEFT JOIN will return all rows from t1.

I think it depends on the number of matching IDs in t1 and t2.

I’m leaning towards option B, but I feel like I might be mixing up the concepts of INNER JOIN and LEFT JOIN.

If t1 has 3 rows and t2 has 2 matching rows, I believe it would return 3 rows total. But what if there are no matches?

I think I saw a similar question where the LEFT JOIN returned all rows from the left table, but I can't recall the exact numbers.

I remember practicing LEFT OUTER JOINs, but I'm not sure how many rows would actually be returned without knowing the data in t1 and t2.

This is a good example of why it's important to understand how different SQL join types work. I'll make sure to review my notes on that before the exam.

I'm a little confused by the USING clause here. Does that mean the 'id' column needs to exist in both tables? I'll have to double-check the table definitions to be sure.

Okay, let me break this down step-by-step. The LEFT OUTER JOIN will return all rows from the t1 table, plus any matching rows from the t2 table. The USING clause means it will match on the 'id' column. I think I've got this!

Hmm, I'm a bit unsure about how the LEFT OUTER JOIN with the USING clause will affect the number of rows returned. I'll need to think this through carefully.

The answer is obviously E) 6 rows. Why? Because the more options, the better the chances of guessing correctly, right? *winks*
