Re: INNER JOIN syntax not supported?

Roal:

There is no "INNER JOIN" syntax in Oracle. An inner join is really another name for an equijoin, which is what happens when you say:

    ... WHERE table1.col = table2.col

Access embelished this syntax a little bit - it does make it a bit easier to parse and figure out what tables are being joined to what. So your stmt should be:

    SELECT * FROM table1, table2 where table1.id1 = table2.id2
