    Editor doesn't provide an INNER JOIN but you can use LEFT JOIN and check for IS NOT NULL regarding the key you are joining. That gives you the same result.

    select 
    t.name,
    c.name,
    s.company_name,
    t.start_date,
    t.end_date,
    t.start_budget,
    t.end_budget,
    t.start_actual,
    t.end_actual,
    t.cost_code,
    t.gst
    from task t, project p, suppliers s, category c 
    where t.supplier_id = s.id 
        and p.id = t.project_id 
        and c.id = t.category_id
    

    can be written as

    SELECT
    t.name,
    c.name,
    s.company_name,
    t.start_date,
    t.end_date,
    t.start_budget,
    t.end_budget,
    t.start_actual,
    t.end_actual,
    t.cost_code,
    t.gst
    FROM task t
    LEFT JOIN category c   ON  c.id = t.category_id
    LEFT JOIN project p    ON  p.id = t.project_id 
    LEFT JOIN suppliers s  ON  s.id = t.supplier_id
    WHERE c.id IS NOT NULL
      AND p.id IS NOT NULL
      AND s.id IS NOT NULL
    

    Just write this the Editor way with the back end library you are using (PHP or whatever you are using).
