RE: ANSI Joins

I found this side-by-side a concise little primer. http://www.oracle-base.com/articles/9i/ANSIISOSQLSupport.php

And Mr. King's presentations have been quite good in past RMOUG Training Days events. I haven't seen this one personally, though: http://www.kingtraining.com/downloads/Oracle9iJoin_paper.pdf

Subject: ANSI Joins

My developers are starting to use ANSI joins in vain hope that they will make their apps portable
across databases. I have a positive attitude toward ANSI joins: I hate those verbose extensions
that make SQL statements lengthy and unreadable. What is the opinion of other people about ANSI joins?
What is the @#$%! allure of those things? Where did they learn it from? Is there any readable document
that explains ANSI joins for dummies?
