BUG #: 55579 (SQLBUG_70)



SYMPTOMS
In Microsoft SQL Server Books Online, the second sentence of the second paragraph in the following section states that the ability to specify Transact-SQL outer joins in the FROM clause is not recommended, is no longer documented and will be dropped in future versions.  Accessing and Changing Data

Query Fundamentals

Join Fundamentals

Specifying Joins in FROM or WHERE Clauses



This is incorrect. The word "FROM" should be replaced with the word "WHERE" in the sentence so it will correctly state that the ability to specify Transact-SQL outer joins in the WHERE clause is not recommended, is no longer documented, and will be dropped in future versions.



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed at the beginning of this article.
