Explanation:

The said query in SQL that retrieves the employee name, job name, department name, salary, and salary grade for each employee who falls within a certain salary range and belongs to a department, and orders the results by department ID.

A join happens by matching the 'employees' and 'department' tables based on the department ID column and the 'employees' and 'salary_grade' tables matches the salary falls within the salary range of the salary grade. This orders the results by the department ID.
