Inner join vs Where

Question

Is there a difference in performance (in oracle) between

Select * from Table1 T1 
Inner Join Table2 T2 On T1.ID = T2.ID

And

Answer 1

Functionally they are the same as has been said. I agree though that doing the join is better for describing exactly what you want to do. Plenty of times I've thought I knew how I wanted to query something until I started doing the joins and realized I wanted to do a different query than the original one in my head.
