Help Needed in Join

Question

Hi,
Am using oracle 10g.
I have two tables namely Table A, Table B. having common column b/w these two tables.
Table A
Id
Name
Age
Table B
ID
Salary
designation
My output needed as follows,
ID, Name,Age, Salary,Designation
I want to join Table A and Table B based on Id and display all the fields. I am able to do this. But some occasions the Id will not be in available Table A or Table b.
for ex : ID = 5 will be available in Table A and which doesn't available in Table B then my output should have salary and designation will be NULL.
On the other hand ID=5 will not be in Table A and Available in table b then in my output will be name, age will be null and salary and designation will have data.

SELECT *
FROM tableA a
     FULL OUTER JOIN tableB b on a.id = b.id ;
