Key
   table1, table2   The tables from which records are combined.

   field1, field2   The fields to be joined.
                    The fields must be of the same data type and
                    contain the same kind of data, but they 
                    do not need to have the same name.

HAVING  Filter out aggregated data that doesn’t meet a given criteria.
UNION  Merge the selected data into a result set.
ORDER BY  Sort the results.
