Joining 2 Tables - Left outer joing is not working

Question

I have a primary Table and then a Secondary. I am doing the left outer join and what I am expecting a list from my primary table and if any thing matches from seconday , that should be picked up. But what my CR2008 does it l it lists all the items on my primary and if there is one record matches from 2ndry, it will list that record in front of all the items from my primary.
What am I doing wrong

Answer 1

equi join = inner join
T1               T2
key     value          key     result
1     100          1     A
2     200          3     B
3     300          5     C
Equi Join= Inner Join: T1 inner join T2 on t1.key = t2.key
Key     Value     Result
1     100     A
3     300     B
Left Outer Join; T1 left outer join T2 on t1.key = t2.key
Key     Value     Result
1     100     A
2     200     *null*
3     300     B
Right Outer Join: T1 1 right outer join T2 on t1.key = t2.key
Key     Value     Result
1     100     A
3     300     B
5     *null*     C
Full outer join: T1 full outer joib T2 on t1.key = t2.key
Key     Value     Result
1     100     A
2     200     *null*
3     300     B
