-   In previous releases, outer joins can be simulated using UNION and NOT
-   IN. For example, when joining tab1 and tab2, the following query does
-   an outer join of the two tables:
-    SELECT tab1.col1, tab2.col2
-    FROM tab1, tab2
-    WHERE tab1.col1 = tab2.col1
-    UNION ALL
-    SELECT tab1.col1, NULL

-    WHERE tab1.col1 NOT IN (SELECT tab2.col1 FROM tab2)
-    ORDER BY col1

     4.18) How do I perform queries using multiple databases?
     
    There is no way to query a database other than the current one.
