Cross Join produces the cartesian product of the two tables involved in the join. For example, in the employee table we have 10 records and in the department table we have 4 records. So as a cross join between two tables it will produce 40 records. Cross join shouldn’t have ON clause.
SELECT Name,Gender,Salary,DepartmentName FROM tblEmployee CROSS JOIN tblDepartment
