Inner Join or Not Inner Join...
I have a co-worker who has devised this method of querying multiple data tables:
SELECT * FROM Students, Bookings, RotaryClubs, Schools WHERE Students.RotaryID=RotaryCl
And much to my surprise, it seems to work!
Is there anything wrong with this method? What benefits do INNER JOINs give over this method?

Matter of opinion. Much prefer the abbreviated syntax as easier to format (and less typing).
