Compatibility of joins

In SQL Anywhere's implementation of Transact-SQL, you can specify join syntax from the SQL/2008 standard using the keywords JOIN, LEFT OUTER JOIN, and RIGHT OUTER JOIN, and FULL OUTER JOIN, along with legacy Transact-SQL outer join syntax that uses the specialty comparison operators *= and =* in the statement's WHERE clause.

Note

Support for Transact-SQL outer join operators *= and =* is deprecated and will be removed in a future release.
