Query question - joins

[Elizabeth Newman]

Hello!

This is homework help so please don't give the answers straight out, I REALLY want to learn this! I hope this is a good place to ask this question, I am a MySQL newbie and I really want to learn the syntax!

I am learning joins. Here are my instructions:
FIELDS
From the shippers table: name
From the orders table: order_date, order_num

TABLE
shippers, orders

CONDITIONS
relate the tables on the shipper_id field - use an equality statement to join the tables

I am supposed to save the query as equaljoin which gives me a little help for what to be using but I don't know *how* to use it. Any insight anyone could give me would be greatly appreciated.
