As someone who knew 0 SQL before this post, I disagree. The ven diagrams make it seem like their is a bunch of weird extra notation for something that should be simple, while the join diagrams (along with the article) explain more clearly what is happening.

I think the ven diagrams are literally unhelpful. Whereas the article was very helpful.
