Can a join condition be used in SQL?
Although join conditions are commonly equality checks, there’s nothing special about them – any valid SQL condition could be used for performing a join. In you case, an IN condition seems appropriate:
What do joins and functions mean in SQL?
SQL stands for Structured Query Language. It is mainly used for data manipulation, data modification, and data retrieval. This comes around with Relational Database Management System (RDBMS). We will learn about more advanced features of SQL like Joins and Functions.
When to use condition within join or where clause?
When I first learned about joins, i was told that conditions in joins are just like where clause conditions and that i could use them interchangeably if the where clause was specific about which table to do the condition on. Agree with 2nd most vote answer that it will make big difference when using LEFT JOIN or RIGHT JOIN.

Do you keep join condition separate from query restriction?
In “SQL Performance Tuning” by Peter Gulutzan and Trudy Pelzer, they tested multiple brands of RDBMS and found no performance difference. I prefer to keep join conditions separate from query restriction conditions.
