LEFT OUTER JOIN

  • Hi,

    The command "LEFT OUTER JOIN" does not work in SQL Server 2005.

    I can replace it for LEFT JOIN.

    Do this two commands do the exact same thing?

    thank you

  • The older LEFT|RIGHT OUTER JOIN operator syntax no longer works such as '*=' or '=*', but the explicit LEFT|RIGHT OUTER JOIN syntax still does even with the compatibility level set to 90 in my experience.

    LEFT OUTER JOIN works very well in SQL Server 2000, 2005 and 2008. Why do you say it does not?

    LEFT JOIN and LEFT OUTER JOIN are identical. If you check Books Online for the syntax of the FROM clause, you'll see that the OUTER keyword is optional.
