ANSI JOIN vs old Oracle join - what's the difference
BEDEApr 4 2008 — edited Apr 7 2008Since Oracle 7, I've been using classical Oracle joins in the where clause, and for outer join the old Oracle (+).
Now, does the ANSI-style with "left/right [outer] join on" do anything different? Meaning: does the DB server perform somewhat different? I find this ANSI syntax rather baroque, but, if it does have some REAL ADVANTAGES, I'll use it.
