A table is joined to itself with SELF JOIN, as the name implies. That is, depending on certain criteria, each table row is linked to itself and all other rows. To put it another way, it's a join between two copies of the same table.

Syntax: 

SELECT a.coulmn1 , b.column2
FROM table_name a, table_name b
WHERE some_condition;

table_name: Name of the table.
some_condition: Condition for selecting the rows.
Example Queries(SELF JOIN>

FROM Student a, Student b
WHERE a.ROLL_NO < b.ROLL_NO;
