     SELECT *
     FROM t1 LEFT OUTER JOIN t2 USING (col);
 
-   This will join t1.col to t2.col, and return any unjoined rows in t1
-   with NULL values for t2 columns. A RIGHT join would return unjoined
-   rows of table t2. A FULL join would return unjoined rows from t1 and
-   t2. The word OUTER is optional and is assumed in LEFT, RIGHT, and FULL
-   joins. Ordinary joins are called INNER joins.

    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:
