SELECT c1 FROM t1, t2, t3
WHERE t2.c2 = t1.c2 AND t3.c3 = t2.c3;
or
SELECT c1 FROM t1
INNER JOIN t2 ON t2.c2 = t1.c2
INNER JOIN t3 ON T3.c3 = t2.c3;
The above can also be written as
SELECT c1 FROM t1
JOIN t2 USING(c2)
JOIN t3 USING(c3);
or even
SELECT c1 FROM t1
NATURAL JOIN t2
NATURAL JOIN t3;
This last might be problematic if t3 has a column named c1.
Question:
Is there any advantage to specifying USING() rather than ON? I know
that if I do SELECT * from T1 JOIN t2 USING(col) then I only get 1
instance of col in the returned rows, but I'm wondering if there is
any advantage to the planner by specifying either USING() or ON?
