Support USING clause for JOIN conditions #423

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
Please add support for the USING clause for JOIN conditions, as specified in 
the SQL-92 standard. The USING clause makes it easier to write joins for tables 
with shared column names for the primary key and foreign key. For example:

  SELECT department_id
  FROM employees
  JOIN departments USING (department_id)

It also has the advantage of not needing to qualify the join column. If the 
above example was a LEFT join, then department_id would refer to the value of 
the inner table (and thus not be NULL in cases where the join doesn't match).
