Join Table with Natural left join

In Natural Left join, both table are merge to each other according to common field, but the priority is given to the first table's field values  means a left outer join returns all the values from the left table and matched values from the right table (NULL in case of no matching join predicate).

In left join, every row of left table appears at least once in joined table, If no matching row from the "right" table exists, NULL will appear in columns from Right Table for those records that have no match in Left Table.
