The main advantage of a join is that it executes faster. The performance increase might not be noticeable by the end user. However, because the columns are specifically named and indexed and optimized by the database engine, the retrieval time almost always will be faster than that of a subquery. There are also inner and outer joins, left and right joins, full joins and cross joins.
T-SQL is Microsoft's version of the generic SQL langauge to be used with, for example, Microsoft SQL Server.
In SQL, the function of the union operator is to combine the result of two or more select-statements. The union operator is a very useful tool when coding SQL.

Information about SQL inner joins can be found on several sights. The best place if you are looking for something specific would be on a blog. W3schools, Tutorials Point, Tech on the Net, and Wikipedia has basic information.
SQL is a mostly standard language that allows for analysis and presentation of data stored in a database. The INNER JOIN command is one of the basic SQL commands. SQL training will teach you how to use this command, as well as the commands that result in other types of joins, like outer joins, left outer joins, etc. The best SQL training sources will present you with a simple set of raw data and examples of the result sets generated from each type of query. Be aware that there are several similar versions of SQL that vary with each target database (SQL Server, DB2, etc.) so be sure that the training you sign up for is specific to the database that you intend to use.
SQL allows for easy access and retrieval of large amounts of data, provides a standardized language for interacting with databases, and offers powerful tools for data manipulation and analysis. Additionally, SQL supports data integrity and security features to ensure reliable and secure data management.
SQL-3 is short for Structured Query Language Level 3, which is a standard that defines the syntax and semantics of SQL queries. It includes features like advanced outer joins, enhanced data manipulation capabilities, and support for recursive queries. SQL-3 builds upon SQL-92 and provides more advanced functionality for managing databases.
1. special requirements for its use in SQL joins. 2. special handling required by aggregate functions and SQL grouping operators
QBE is an advantage over SQL as it is a visual technique allowing non-experts to do searches, as it is simple to understand.
Microsoft SQL server offers many advantages such as tight integration with back office series of server products. The latest release offers users the ability to store their data information in the cloud.
There are three types of SQL: 1. Cognos SQL 2. Native SQL 3. Pass-through SQL Cognos SQL Framework Manager generates Cognos SQL in a more efficient manner in order to keep its functionality. It is common for Cognos SQL to be translated into Native SQL before being transmitted to the database for processing. Some actions or functions may not be supported by the database in some instances. Only a portion of the Cognos SQL is transmitted to the database in these situations. As a result, the database handles part of the query and the Cognos server handles the rest. Advantages: Has the ability to include metadata from many sources. Reduce the number of database constraints Interact more effectively with Cognos applications. Disadvantages: You cannot use non standard SQL. Native SQL Databases such as Oracle, SQL Server, and DB2 all support SQL. Using Native SQL in a model query subject with many data sources is not possible. Advantages: All relevant query subjects are optimized for performance. You can utilize SQL that is specific to the database you are using. Disadvantages: You cannot use SQL that the data source does not support for sub queries. The query subject may not be compatible with different database types. Pass-through SQL Allows the usage of Native SQL without regard to the limitations imposed on subqueries by the data source. Subqueries are not processed in Pass-Through SQL query subjects. It is instead supplied directly to the data source that generates query results for each subject. It is important to keep in mind that pass-through SQL is delivered straight to the data source rather than being optimized by the Framework Manager, therefore performance will be lower than with the other query options. Using curly brackets around your SQL statement in a Tabular SQL object causes that SQL statement to be passed through to the database. Cognos has not validated this SQL, so take that into consideration. Step1: Create a Tabular SQL object. Write a statement surrounded with { }. Actual: SELECT * FROM ORDER HEADER Pass-Through: {SELECT * FROM ORDER HEADER} Advantages: You can use any SQL supported by the database. Disadvantages: Framework manager does not have the ability to automatically optimize performance. In some cases, the SQL won't function with another data source.
Relational tables if stored locally (vs Excel). Can use ODBC interface to access SQL/Oracle/etc databases. Idiot friendly with drag and drop joins.
SQL Server is most often referred to as Microsoft SQL Server, but there is also a Sybase SQL Server which was originally created on UNIX in 1987. MS sql 2000 database, or Microsoft SQL Server 2000 is a database server product. So, when you ask what is the difference, I do not see a difference, they are one in the same. Unless your question is asking for the difference between the Sybase version and Microsoft version, or you are wanting to compare different versions of Microsoft SQL Sever. In which case, I think your question must be more specific. arnel... SQL stands for (Structured Query Language). A SQL server can cover a host of products. Oracle is a SQL server however when speaking of Oracle people usually refer to it is Oracle. The server in fact is a SQL server. Microsoft SQL server is often simply referred to as SQL Server not because they 'own' the product or anything, just because of the popularity. I can draw a parallel for you. When you own a SeaDoo watercraft (as I do) people will refer to it as a jetski, same with a Kawasaki, Polaris, or any other brand. The fact is that this name (JetSki) is used interchangable however the Kawasaki Standup model watercraft is the only true 'jetski'. Anyway there are many 'flavors' of SQL server (MYSQL, Oracle, MS SQL Server, Postgress SQL, just to name a few. You can find more information about SQL server, its history and some additional 'flavors' at this link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SQL Hope that helps.

One can find an SQL formatter from: SQL Format, Free Formatter, Poor SQL, T-SQL Tidy, Stack Overflow, SQL Inform, Apex SQL, SQL Parser, Red Gate software, to name a few.
