There's nothing in any of the SQL standards that forbids joining on 
non-key columns. There's nothing in the SQL standards that requires SQL 
to know about relationships stored in a database's meta-tables and 
enforced by the DBMS. Stuart did answer your question, but his use of  
terms was more standard that yours.
