-------------------** join without common columns **--------------------------

In a typical relational database, joining two tables without a common column is

challenging
because a join operation is based on matching values in specified columns between
the
two tables. The common column is what establishes the relationship between rows in
different tables.

However, there are alternative approaches or scenarios where you might combine
information
from two tables without a direct common column:

1. CROSS JOIN:
- This type of join returns the Cartesian product of two tables, meaning it
combines every row from
the first table with every row from the second table. There's no need for a common
column,
but this can lead to a large result set.

>>SELECT * FROM table1 CROSS JOIN table2;

2. UNION:
- If the tables have similar structures, you can use the UNION operator to
combine rows from both
tables. The number and order of columns must be the same.

>> SELECT * FROM table1

UNION
SELECT * FROM table2;

Note: UNION removes duplicate rows; if you want to include duplicates, you can use
`UNION ALL`.

3. Derived Columns:
- You can create derived columns or constants in both tables and then join on
those columns.
This is a workaround and may not be suitable for all situations.

>> SELECT * FROM table1

INNER JOIN table2 ON 1=1; -- Joining on a constant (always true)
