[dba-SQLServer] Newbie needs help with select statement

Francisco,

Actually, that is an INNER JOIN that he is attempting. The problem
is that he is not using the correct columns. That is why he is not
getting data back. And, if you try this type of join using the
where clause instead, you will find that it is actually faster than
using the correct join syntax.  :-)

Jean-Paul, you are going to have to tell us the names of the columns
in your tables before we can help you.
