In general that doesn't really matter! For example these queries all
return the same results:
SELECT * FROM a, b WHERE a.n = b.n;
SELECT * FROM a INNER JOIN b ON a.n = b.n;
SELECT * FROM a CROSS JOIN b WHERE a.n = b.n;
SELECT * FROM a INNER JOIN b ON TRUE WHERE a.n = b.n;
In your case there are probably a couple of reasonable choices. Because
they're all just inner joins, I'd use the old fashioned cross syntax:
SELECT *
FROM pay p, ship s, paytypes pt, shiptypes st
WHERE p.typeid = pt.typeid
AND s.typeid = st.typeid
AND p.methodid = 1
AND s.methodid = 1;
If you want to use JOIN syntax, you could do something like:
SELECT *
FROM
pay p INNER JOIN paytypes pt ON p.typeid = pt.typeid,
ship s INNER JOIN shiptypes st ON s.typeid = st.typeid
WHERE p.methodid = 1
AND s.methodid = 1;
Or you could do something completely different!
