    Best I can point you to is A Visual Explanation of SQL Joins.

    The diagrams helped me a lot.

    Adding the main diagrams from the linked post here.

    Inner Join

    inner join diagram

    Inner join produces only the set of records that match in both Table A and Table B.

    Full outer join

    full outer join diagram

    Full outer join produces the set of all records in Table A and Table B, with matching records from both sides where available. If there is no match, the missing side will contain null.

    Left outer join

    left outer join diagram

    Left outer join produces a complete set of records from Table A, with the matching records (where available) in Table B. If there is no match, the right side will contain null.
