SELECT FROM TWO TABLES:  SYNTAX 

 


(Recommended, ANSI-style)

 

            SELECT column list

            FROM table1

                        INNER JOIN table2

                        ON table1.col1=table2.col2

            WHERE criteria

            ORDER BY column list

 


(Older, theta-style)

 

            SELECT column list

            FROM table1, table2

                    WHERE table1.col1=table2.col2

                    AND other criteria

            ORDER BY column list


Note:          

- col1 in table1 is usually that table's primary key

- col2 in table2 is a foreign key in that table

- col1 and col2 must have the same data type and for certain data types, the same size
