I've been using INNER JOIN in MySQL extensively for the past year. Haven't programming in Access for several years (got sick of fighting VBA, amongst other things) but that was before I really learned SQL.

MySQL's doco mentions it: [link|http://www.mysql.com/documentation/mysql/bychapter/manual_Reference.html#JOIN|http://www.mysql.com...ference.html#JOIN]

Maybe it's syntactic sugar, but it works for me. Particularly when I have to figure out a LEFT JOIN or a RIGHT JOIN as the set imagery is, I find, consistent.
