title: SQL JOIN: ON vs Equals
body: <p>Is there any significant difference between the following?</p>
  
  <p><code>SELECT a.name, b.name FROM a, b WHERE a.id = b.id AND a.id = 1</code></p>
  
  <p>AND</p>
  
  <p><code>SELECT a.name, b.name FROM a INNER JOIN b ON a.id = b.id WHERE a.id = 1</code></p>
  
  <p>Do SO users have a preference of one over the other?</p>
