JDBC supports the SQL-92 left, right, and full outer join syntax. The escape sequence for outer joins is:

 {oj outer-join}

where outer-join is

table-reference {LEFT | RIGHT | FULL} OUTER JOIN {table-reference | outer-join} ON search-condition

where table-reference is a database table name, and search-condition is the join condition you want to use for the tables.

Example: SELECT Customers.CustID, Customers.Name, Orders.OrderID, Orders.Status FROM {oj Customers LEFT OUTER JOIN Orders ON Customers.CustID=Orders.CustID} WHERE Orders.Status='OPEN'

The following outer join escape sequences are supported:

  • Left outer joins
  • Right outer joins
  • Full outer joins
  • Nested outer joins
