Answer
JOINs result in a combined table with columns from all joined tables.
When using SQL JOINs, the result set contains columns from all the joined tables, effectively creating a temporary table that combines data. This differs from separate queries, which return isolated sets of data that need further processing in Java. For instance, joining 'customers' with 'orders' results in a table containing customer and order information in each row.
