Adding data leveraging cross joins
Adding data leveraging cross joins
A cross join in SQL is useful for creating all possible combinations of rows from two or more tables. It pairs each row from one table with every row from the other, which is helpful for generating scenarios or testing different combinations. Although it can result in large datasets, a cross join is powerful when you need to explore every possible pairing, such as matching products with customers or combining different data points for analysis. Its main value is in producing comprehensive data combinations for thorough analysis.
