# No Duck LEFT Behind

DB Quacks SQL Tutorial · level 20 · chapter 4

Social worker duck approaches with concern. "Some shy ducks never visited ponds! Our previous reports only showed swimming ducks. I want ALL ducks included, even homebodies who stayed home!"

## Task

Show all ducks and their pond visits, including ducks who never visited any pond, by joining the ducks table with 'data/pond_visits.csv'. You will be ensuring no ducks are excluded from the results.

## Hint

You need a join that keeps all records from one table, even if there are no matches in the other table.

## Expected result

A table showing all ducks and their pond visits (NULL for ducks who never visited).
