SQL Select Is referencing composite PK/FK table required?

Question

I have 3 tables with their primary keys:

PLANT      DEPT      HOLDER
------     ------    ------
pId        dId       hId

Following are their relationships:

1.) A department exist in many plants.

For which I designed the table having composite key PK/FK as

DEPTinPLANT
-----------
{p_Id,d_Id}

and another relationship,

2.) A holder can be assigned to many departments of a plant.

with composite PK/FK from DEPTinPLANT and HOLDER tables

HOLDERinDEPT
------------
{{p_Id,d_Id},h_ID}

Now extracting data from HOLDERinDEPT with Select statement, I have

select *
from HOLDERinDEPT 
join PLANT  on p_Id = pid
join DEPT   on d_Id = dId
join HOLDER on h_id = hId

Is this correct or is it required to reference first the DEPTinPLANT table then then corresponding base tables?

Answer 1

select *
from HOLDERinDEPT hd
join PLANT p on p_Id = pid
join DEPT d  on d_Id = dId
join HOLDER h on h_id = hId

This is correct. No need to reference DEPTinPLANT
