Join two dimension tables that don't have a shared key column?

I have a Employee info (one row per employee) table and a Calendar table (one row per day).

I want a results table that has one row per day for each employee.

employee table

EmpID EmpName
0001 Jill
0002 Bill
0003 Steve

calendar table

Date Month
01/01/2022 January
01/02/2022 January
01/03/2022 January

result table

Date EmpName
01/01/2022 Jill
01/01/2022 Bill

01/02/2022 Jill

A cross join is what you want:

SELECT * FROM EMPLOYEE_TABLE
CROSS JOIN CALENDAR_TABLE;

A cross join literally just multiplies the number of rows in the first table with the number of rows in the second table.
