Is there a way to do oracle style joins in SQL Server?
select * from t1, t2 where t1.id = t2.id (+)
Why is it preferabl
SELECT * FROM t1 LEFT OUTER JOIN t2 ON t1.id = t2.id
This AskTom article shows you the syntax equivalencies from (+) to (LEFT AND RIGHT) OUTER JOIN for Oracle, and SQL Server uses the OUTER JOIN syntax.
(LEFT AND RIGHT) OUTER JOIN
