Re: LEFT JOIN and WHERE: identical or not and what is better?

[João Cândido de Souza Neto]

I can be wrong about that, but I think the difference between them should be 
irrelevant so it makes me think about a paranoiac thought.

For me, the only difference is: Chose the one you feel better to understand 
your code.

Am I wrong or not?

Hello everyone,
Sorry for my beginner question. Actually I have been using MySql for a
long  time  but  I  just  start  using some advanced things (earlier I
accomplished  those  tasks  with  PHP),  so  I  will  be asking stupid
questions, please bear with me.
Here is the first one.
We have two queries:
SELECT `blogs`.* FROM     `Blogs`     LEFT     JOIN     `Users`     ON
`Blogs`.`UserId`=`Users`.`Id`;
and the following one:
SELECT       `Blogs`.*      FROM      `Blogs`,      `Users`      WHERE
`Blogs`.`UserId`=`Users`.`Id`;

1. Are they identical?
2.  Which is better (faster, more optimal, more kosher, I mean, better
style...)?
Thanks!
