Chapter 12 5 Self Joins

A self-join allows a table to be joined to itself. It requires the table to have two aliases so that columns can be qualified by alias when joining conditions are specified. A common use is to list employees and their managers by joining the employee table to itself using the employee ID and manager ID columns.
