When doing SQL JOINS is see two different syntax for what seems to be the same thing, one using the JOIN syntax and one not. See examples.
Code 1
SELECT Address.City, Name.NameFirst
from Address, Name
Where Address.AddressId = Name.AddressId
Code 2
SELECT Address.City, Name.NameFirst
from Address
join Name
on name.addressid = address.addressid
Needless to say there are many variations, but the fundamental difference seems to be using the FROM <table1>, <table2>
versus using JOIN <table2>
Even the variations of Left, Right, inner, outer seem easier managed with the Code 1 concept.
To me same Code 1 seems lots simpler.
