That statement deserves a little clarification. Both of these queries use inner joins: SELECT t1.*, t2.* FROM t1, t2 WHERE t1.pk = t2.fk SELECT t1.*, t2.* FROM t1 INNER JOIN t2 ON t1.pk = t2.fk The difference is that the second query uses the ANSI syntax for its inner join, while the first doesn't. Specific database engines may conceivably perform differently when analyzing each query, or may only support one syntax or the other, but they're still both inner joins.
