Is it wrong to put condition in join?
Putting the condition in the join seems “semantically wrong” to me, as that’s not what JOINs are “for”. But that’s very qualitative. Additional problem: if you decide to switch from an inner join to, say, a right join, having the condition be inside the JOIN could lead to unexpected results.
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.
When to use join instead of in clause?
Closed 7 years ago. I see a lot of places suggesting using INNER JOIN’s instead of writing IN CLAUSES because of performance reasons. None of them explain why, though.
When to use left join or right join?
Agree with 2nd most vote answer that it will make big difference when using LEFT JOIN or RIGHT JOIN. Actually, the two statements below are equivalent. So you can see that AND clause is doing a filter before JOIN while the WHERE clause is doing a filter after JOIN.

How does conditional joins work in SQL Server?
In this case, that is valid SQL and it will compile and execute. However, it is not only inefficient, but it doesn’t work. For employee rows that match a specific EmpType/Dept billing rate, it will still also return another row for the default rate since the second part of the OR expression still holds.
How does cross join work in Azure Data flow?
Cross join outputs the cross product of the two streams based upon a condition. If you’re using a condition that isn’t equality, specify a custom expression as your cross join condition. The output stream will be all rows that meet the join condition.
How to test join transformations in data preview?
When testing the join transformations with data preview in debug mode, use a small set of known data. When sampling rows from a large dataset, you can’t predict which rows and keys will be read for testing. The result is non-deterministic, meaning that your join conditions may not return any matches.
