== Why is this an issue? Since ANSI SQL-92, explicit joins using the ``++JOIN++`` keyword have been possible, and are preferred. Therefore table joins should be done with help of the one of the following clauses: ``++JOIN++``, ``++INNER JOIN++``, ``++LEFT OUTER JOIN++``, ``++RIGHT OUTER JOIN++``, and ``++FULL OUTER JOIN++``. The old way to join tables is deprecated and should not be used anymore. === Noncompliant code example [source,text] ---- SELECT * FROM PARTS, PRODUCTS WHERE PARTS.PROD = PRODUCTS.PROD ---- === Compliant solution [source,text] ---- SELECT * FROM PARTS INNER JOIN PRODUCTS ON PARTS.PROD = PRODUCTS.PROD ----
