G-3130: Try to use ANSI SQL-92 join syntax.
Minor
Maintainability, Portability
Reason
ANSI SQL-92 join syntax supports the full outer join. A further advantage of the ANSI SQL-92 join syntax is the separation of the join condition from the query filters.
Example (bad)
| select e.employee_id
,e.last_name
,e.first_name
,d.department_name
from employees e
,departments d
where e.department_id = d.department_id
and extract(month from e.hire_date) = extract(month from sysdate);
|
Example (good)
| select emp.employee_id
,emp.last_name
,emp.first_name
,dept.department_name
from employees emp
join departments dept
on dept.department_id = emp.department_id
where extract(month from emp.hire_date) = extract(month from sysdate);
