What's to understand?

INNER JOIN removes records from the result set where no matching values exist on both sides of the join. So t1.Name and t2.Name will never have null values in your result, because that's what an INNER join does as opposed to an OUTER join.

Thank you I appreciate your insight. So the result would be A? since it is not null and since the matching values were removed? And the remaining value for Table 1 is A / The remaining value for Table 2 is D.

Query Explanation

Given Tables:

Table1	Table2
A	B
B	C
C	D

SELECT t1.name, t2.name
  FROM Table1 t1
 INNER JOIN Table2 t2
         ON t1.name = t2.name

Breakdown:

Select Statement: The command SELECT t1.name, t2.name specifies that the output should include the name columns from both Table1 (aliased as t1) and Table2 (aliased as t2). The output columns will show identical values in each row where there is a match.
From Clause: FROM Table1 t1 indicates that the data retrieval starts from Table1, which is referred to as t1 in this query.
Inner Join Clause: INNER JOIN Table2 t2 tells the database to combine rows from both Table1 and Table2 wherever there's a match, based on the condition specified in the ON clause.
On Clause: ON t1.name = t2.name is the condition for joining. It specifies that the join should occur where the name column in Table1 matches the name column in Table2.

Result of the Query:

t1.name	t2.name
B	B
C	C

Each row shows a pair of names that exist in both tables, indicating successful matches based on the conditions set by the INNER JOIN.
