Explicit INNER JOINs are easier to read, easier to debug, and since
5.0.12 always preferable in MySQL for reasons given at
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.1/en/join.html (look for '5.0.12').
SELECT category.name, page.name, content.title, content.body
FROM category
INNER JOIN content USING (category_id)
INNER JOIN page USING (page_id)
WHERE category.id = 1
ORDER BY content.order_id ASC
LIMIT 0 , 30
