If you didn't came across implicit join until now, then you better left it alone...
It will translate to a cross join but without the clear syntax of it...
It is not standard too (IIRC it started with MS Access)...

Quite standard Postgresql.
Which one of these you use is mainly a matter of style. The JOIN syntax in the FROM clause is probably not as portable to other SQL database management systems, even though it is in the SQL standard. For outer joins there is no choice: they must be done in the FROM clause. The ON or USING clause of an outer join is not equivalent to a WHERE condition, because it results in the addition of rows (for unmatched input rows) as well as the removal of rows in the final result.

MS SQL recognises that syntax as a JOIN and generates exactly the same execution plan.

Yeah, I think the main thing it helped me with was cleaning up my original Stored Proc query (which already had a bunch of joins). This helped me to easily add the one field I wanted without having to do all the join syntax and it ended up being a little cleaner.

Do not ever do this. It is a very, very old way of doing joins, before join syntax was a thing. It is an ancient form of writing sql. And it IS a join, just in the WHERE clause.

Good to know. Thanks. I've been reading about it and will do more research.

private string _CustomName = "Contact the developer";
public string CustomName
{
get
{
return _CustomName;
}
set
{
if (!_CustomName.IsNull())
{
if (!_CustomName.Equals(value))
{
_CustomName = value;
OnPropertyChanged("CustomName");
}
}
else
if (_CustomName != value)
{
_CustomName = value;
OnPropertyChanged("CustomName");
}
}
}
Not sure I want to contact the developer.

Ridiculously long identifier of the day: Connect_catcher_line_to_PIC_ink_port__Connect_duct_line_to_PIC_storage_port__Then_Step_Up
All 90 characters of it. Yes, I created it deliberately and yes I know it includes two occurrences of two underscores in a row.
To make matters worse, it's an enum value, identifying a bit in a mask.
Thank [diety-of-choice] for IntelliSense.

I would consider that a nominee as a potential candidate of the year. Nice effort.

Thanks. I have had longer ones (I remember a resource identifier that was close to 200), but this one set a recent record.

When I started Uni, we were told we had to have meaningful identifiers. This was back in the punched card days (80 cols per card). So, as a silent protest, I wrote my Assessed Practical Work with every identifier being exactly 80 chars long. This mean that each identifier took a whole punched card and made the program unintelligible as it was impossible to use indentation. (It had one good benefit - I could just duplicate the cards with identifiers and slot them into the source deck as required, so I only had to type them once). I passed the Assessed Practical Work as the program worked and it had meaningful identifiers, but they were not amused.
P.S. Language was Algol60 - one of the few languages that allowed spaces in identifiers - that helped make them meaningful but the code even less straight forward to read.

At these days, we were working in PL1, which allowed free format, like C, with columns 9-72 of every card filled with a code. One programmer from our team liked to fill all this area with a code. Probably to save punched cards. To fix a bug, he needed to retype everything from the buggy card to the end. He didn't like a bugs in the beginning.

What's "PIC"? Surely some acronym - and I do not understand it. Please write it out!
Oh sanctissimi Wilhelmus, Theodorus, et Fredericus!

By gosh, you're right! Sadly it's such a part of our vocabulary (pronounced, er, "pick"), I don't even remember what it's an acronym of. If I had to guess, it would be "Printhead Interface Controller", which would then make the proper identifier
Connect_catcher_line_to_PrintheadInterfaceController_ink_port__Connect_duct_line_to_PrintheadInterfaceController_storage_port__Then_Step_Up I deliberately didn't replace the spaces in "Printhead Interface Controller" with underscores in order to emphasize that "PrintheadInterfaceController" is a component name.

Or Programmable Integrated Circuit? What does PIC stand for?[^] agrees, but also has Programmable Interrupt Controller and Peripheral Interface Controller and dozens of non-IT meanings.
Take your pic(k).

In this case it's actually a board within our commercial ink-jet printer products. It accepts print data via a fiber optic connection and parcels it out to one or more arrays of jets. Depending upon configuration, we print somewhere around 1 billion (109) drops of ink per second, where each drop is around 6-9 picoliters.
Our marketing created an interesting visual a while back. If each of our drops of ink were the size of a drop of rain, we dump an Olympic swimming pool every second.

Can the ink jets be directed so the user gets sprayed in the face?

Well, no. Ink-jet can get messy, however. Most of the bathrooms include a dispenser for a product called "Dye Gone" to get ink off your hands.
A well-known incident occurred some years ago when an upper-level executive was being given the grand tour of some of our labs. A piece of tubing cut loose and sprayed the guy with a head-to-feet stream of yellow ink. We bought him a new suit.
