Spatial join based on a categorising attribute

What are the different types of spatial Joins?

There are four types of spatial joins: outer join, inner join, left join, and right join. These spatial join types determine which features from both datasets are kept in the resulting output dataset.

In which of the following ways does a spatial join differ from an attribute join?

Join by location or spatial join uses spatial associations between the layers involved to append fields from one layer to another. Spatial joins are different from attribute and relationship class joins in that they are not dynamic and require the results to be saved to a new output layer.

What is an example of a spatial join?

For example, if you have 1 land parcel. This parcel has 3 points in it with 3 different owners. A spatial join will create 3 identical land parcels. But each record will have the landowner’s name on it.
