Answer / sobia g.
An inner join is a join with a join condition that may contain both equality or non-equality sign whereas an equijoin is a join with a join condition that only contain only equality sign.
So we can say an equijoin is a type of inner join containing (Equal)= operator in the join condition.
It is good to know the difference between join and INNER JOIN keywoed. Actually there is no difference. If we write JOIN then by default INNER JOIN is performed. In the example it is also shown.
The following example will make you more clear.
In this example I used data as in example of Difference between Inner join and Outer join

Answer / sandy
Inner join can have equality (=) and other operators (like <,>,<>) in the join condition.
Equi join only have equality (=) operator in the join condition.
Equi join can be an Inner join, Left Outer join, Right Outer join
The USING clause is not supported by SQL Server and Sybase. This clause is supported by Oracle and MySQL.
