Re: Correlated Subqueries allowed in FROM clause?

For openers, Oracle (whether 8 or otherwise) does not support the INNER JOIN syntax of Access. An equijoin in Oracle is expressed in the WHERE clause such as:

WHERE table1.field_a = table2.field_a

The most common implementation of a correlated subquery in Oracle to which I'm accustomed uses the EXISTS or NOT EXISTS.

I can provide more details if you wish to pursue this.
