Sample table: customer

 customer_id |   cust_name    |    city    | grade | salesman_id 
-------------+----------------+------------+-------+-------------
        3002 | Nick Rimando   | New York   |   100 |        5001
        3007 | Brad Davis     | New York   |   200 |        5001
        3005 | Graham Zusi    | California |   200 |        5002
        3008 | Julian Green   | London     |   300 |        5002
        3004 | Fabian Johnson | Paris      |   300 |        5006
        3009 | Geoff Cameron  | Berlin     |   100 |        5003
        3003 | Jozy Altidor   | Moscow     |   200 |        5007
        3001 | Brad Guzan     | London     |       |        5005

Sample Solution:

-- This query selects specific columns ('orders.ord_no' and 'customer.cust_name') from the 'orders' and 'customer' tables.
-- It retrieves data where the 'customer_id' column in the 'orders' table matches the 'customer_id' column in the 'customer' table.
SELECT orders.ord_no, customer.cust_name
-- Specifies the tables from which to retrieve the data (in this case, 'orders' and 'customer').
FROM orders, customer
-- Specifies the condition for joining the 'orders' and 'customer' tables based on the equality of the 'customer_id' columns.
WHERE orders.customer_id = customer.customer_id;

Output of the query:

ord_no	cust_name
70009	Brad Guzan
70002	Nick Rimando
70004	Geoff Cameron
70005	Brad Davis
70008	Nick Rimando
70010	Fabian Johnson
70003	Geoff Cameron
70011	Jozy Altidor
70013	Nick Rimando
70001	Graham Zusi
70007	Graham Zusi
70012	Julian Green

Code Explanation:

The said query in SQL that joins the orders' and 'customer' tables based on the "customer_id" column. The result set includes the order number (ord_no) and customer name (cust_name). The WHERE clause specifies the join condition between the two tables, which is that the "customer_id" column must be equal in both tables.
