  • Ans. 

    A merge join in SQL is a method of combining two sorted datasets by matching corresponding rows based on a specified condition.

    • Merge join is used when joining two large datasets that are already sorted.

    • It is more efficient than other join methods like nested loop join or hash join for sorted datasets.

    • The join condition must be an equality condition.

    • Example: SELECT * FROM table1 INNER JOIN table2 ON table1.id = table2.i
