In some cases you can use UNION to achieve result similar to JOHN.

>   SELECT ;

>      Table2.Field3 ;
>    FROM ;
>      Table1 ;
>    INNER JOIN Table2 ;
>      ON Table1.Field1 = Table2.Field2 ;
>    INTO CURSOR SQLType1

>Type 1 allows the user to combine many more tables then Type2, but Type 2 allows the user to easily join tables in various ways (LEFT JOIN, RIGHT JOIN, FULL JOIN etc).
