When I was writing the query for my application, I used the following Formatted Query
SELECT JS.JobseekerID
, JS.FirstName
, JS.LastName
, JS.Currency
, JS.AccountRegDate
, JS.LastUpdated
, JS.NoticePeriod
, JS.Availability
, C.CountryName
, S.SalaryAmount
, DD.DisciplineName
, DT.DegreeLevel
FROM Jobseekers JS, Countries C, SalaryBracket S, DegreeDisciplines DD
, DegreeType DT
WHERE
JS.CountryID = C.CountryID
AND JS.MinSalaryID = S.SalaryID
AND JS.DegreeDisciplineID = DD.DisciplineID
AND JS.DegreeTypeID = DT.DegreeTypeID
AND JS.ShowCV = 'Yes'
In corner of my mind I was not satisfied with the above and was trying to make it better with the other ways of writing query, when I met our Database tester, She gave me the following idea to write, It was very effective way of writing that Query
SELECT JS.JobseekerID
, JS.FirstName
, JS.LastName
, JS.Currency
, JS.AccountRegDate
, JS.LastUpdated
, JS.NoticePeriod
, JS.Availability
, C.CountryName
, S.SalaryAmount
, DD.DisciplineName
, DT.DegreeLevel
FROM Jobseekers JS
INNER
JOIN Countries C
ON JS.CountryID = C.CountryID
INNER
JOIN SalaryBracket S
ON JS.MinSalaryID = S.SalaryID
INNER
JOIN DegreeDisciplines DD
ON JS.DegreeDisciplineID = DD.DisciplineID
INNER
JOIN DegreeType DT
ON JS.DegreeTypeID = DT.DegreeTypeID
WHERE
JS.ShowCV = 'Yes'
I hope this will help to understand How you can use the inner joins in the queries
