If you have a right outer join and there is no match, all key fields
(specified in the using clause are NULL!)

Subject: Re: Columns in USING clause for join don't appear in SELECT *?

A few...not as many as I'd like...

Besides the problem posed by legacy RPG standards of specifing a different
prefix for the same field in different files...

The using clause on Db2 for i only supports a single join.

Meaning the following is not supported...

select *
from tbl1
join tbl2 using (fld1, fld2)
join tbl3 using (fld1, fld2)

It should be IMHO..

Perhaps requiring parenthesis to explicitly specify a join order...
select *
from (tbl1
join tbl2 using (fld1, fld2))
join tbl3 using (fld1, fld2)

Thanks for that, John! I can only guess that I've not done many
queries that fall in this category.
