I’m studying SQL for a database exam and the way I’ve seen SQL is they way it looks on this page:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Star_schema
IE join written the way Join <table name> On <table attribute> and then the join condition for the selection. My course book and my exercises given to me from the academic institution however, use only natural join in their examples. So when is it right to use natural join? Should natural join be used if the query can also be written using JOIN .. ON ?

Thanks for any answer or comment

    A natural join will find columns with the same name in both tables and add one column in the result for each pair found. The inner join lets you specify the comparison you want to make using any column.
