I wasn't sure about that one.

_Conceptually_ the FROM TABLE1,TABLE2 does a cartesian join which is then filtered by the where clause.

WIth that interpretation, the above would give you what he had originally plus a cartesian join of a subset of the rows.

However, it's the sort of thing I would have to experiment with to be sure.
