i'm joining tables like:

select * from tableA a full join tableB b on a.id = b.id

But the output should be:

row without null fields
row with null fields in tableB
row with null fields in tableA

Like:

a.id    a.name  b.id    b.name
5   Peter   5   Jones
2   Steven  2   Pareker
6   Paul    null    null
4   Ivan    null    null
null    null    1   Smith
null    null    3   Parker
