Looking for an invitation this weekend.
I read "Join" and watched a ton of JOIN, LEFT, RIGHT, OUTER, FULL, INNER combinations. I checked the MSDN docs and it looks like only allowed combinations are in the form:
< join_type > ::=
[ INNER | { { LEFT | RIGHT | FULL } [ OUTER] } ]
[ < join_hint > ]
JOIN
so from this, I suppose, you can only get:
JOIN / INNER JOIN
LEFT JOIN / LEFT OUTER JOIN
RIGHT JOIN / RIGHT OUTER JOIN
FULL JOIN / FULL OUTER JOIN
In addition, OUTER is an optional keyword, so LEFT JOIN and LEFT OUTER JOIN are actually the same. It's right? What is the difference between JOIN and FULL OUTER JOIN? I saw JOIN alone in the script, but could not break it, because the request was a bit complicated.
