Left join geeft geen null-waarden in de tabel sql

Er zijn enkele problemen die ik als volgt heb opgesomd

1. Je hebt dit gebruikt als INNER JOIN als volgt maar ON voorwaarde bestaat uit de kolom uit een tabel:PAY_PAYROLL_ACTIONS waardoor de voorwaarde onwaar wordt als er geen gegevens van de werknemer zijn in PAY_PAYROLL_ACTIONS tafel.

   JOIN PAY_TIME_PERIODS PTP ON ( PPA.EARN_TIME_PERIOD_ID = PTP.TIME_PERIOD_ID )

2. Je hebt de volgende 5 WHERE-voorwaarde gebruikt.

   • PPA.ACTION_TYPE IS NULL
   • TO_CHAR(NVL(PPA.EFFECTIVE_DATE, '2019-09-01'), 'YYYY-MM-DD') BETWEEN ( '2019-09-01' ) AND ( '2019-12-01' )
   • PPA.CONSOLIDATION_SET_ID = PCS.CONSOLIDATION_SET_ID
   • NVL(PPA.EFFECTIVE_DATE, TRUNC(SYSDATE)) BETWEEN PAYREL.START_DATE AND PAYREL.END_DATE
   • NVL(PPA.EFFECTIVE_DATE, TRUNC(SYSDATE)) BETWEEN PAPD.START_DATE AND PAPD.END_DATE

Deze voorwaarden hebben ook invloed op het eindresultaat op basis van de aanwezigheid van de gegevens in tabel PAY_PAYROLL_ACTIONS .Ik probeer u de oplossing te geven (zie inline opmerkingen voor een beschrijving van de wijziging) volgens mijn kennis van deze tabellen als volgt:
