Do you use the OUTER keyword when writing left/right JOINs in SQL?

Question

I often see people who write SQL like this:

SELECT * from TableA LEFT OUTER JOIN TableB ON (ID1=I2)

I myself write simply:

SELE         


        

Answer 1

I'm using 'inner join', 'left join', 'right join', and 'full outer join'. 'join' without 'inner' makes it somewhat ambigious to me; 'left' and 'right' are self-descriptive and 'full' is such kind of a beast that it deserves special syntax :)
