The following documentation comment has been logged on the website:

Page: https://www.postgresql.org/docs/12/tutorial-join.html
Description:

The documentation at https://www.postgresql.org/docs/12/tutorial-join.html
shows this query:

SELECT *
FROM weather, cities
WHERE city = name;

And then presents the following query as "an alternate form" that is "not as
commonly used as the one above":

SELECT *
FROM weather INNER JOIN cities ON (weather.city = cities.name);

Isn't that backwards? Isn't the first query the old ANSI-89 syntax?
Shouldn't we be using then newer "INNER JOIN" syntax?
