A CROSS JOIN  in Oracle is a JOIN operation that produces the Cartesian product of two tables.

So now total 28 rows are selected.

Cross Join does not let you specify a join clause. You may, however, specify a WHERE clause in the SELECT statement.

Cross join in another format can be written as

select a.* ,b.* from scott.emp a ,scott.example b ;
