Left join result and where to find it

Hi! I'm new to qlik sense and I have a question regarding `join` operations. Sorry in advance if my question seems strange or something.

So, having a query like this:

LEFT JOIN (table2) LOAD * RESIDENT table1;

How come I'll have the concatenated result in the table2? How does it work and why? Where can I see something on the matter in the documentation?

Join is in the qlik documenation: https://help.qlik.com/en-US/sense/August2021/Subsystems/Hub/Content/Sense_Hub/Scripting/combine-tabl...

But this is typical sql function.  Only difference is Qlik joins on fields with same name(s) opposed to sql where you specify fields to join on.

Adding to what Steve posted, it sounds like you might be looking for LEFT KEEP instead of LEFT JOIN.
