I just ran a Google on 'exception join' and came across this link

http://www.freepatentsonline.com/7171398.html

"Outer and exception join to inner join normalization" is the title on the patent - I recognized a name from my time as a contractor at IBM in 2001 - and, lo and behold, it is one of the developers of SQE - hmm - and related patents listed have another developer's name on them. So this is a bunch of stuff from IBM - IBM makes a big deal of having a whole bunch of intellectual property patents. Makes for some interesting reading.

Enjoy!!
