This is Oracle's syntax for an outer join. Try this in PostgreSQL
SELECT o.* from one o LEFT JOIN two t ON o.key = t.key;

Subject: Oracle to PostgreSQL help: What is (+) in Oracle select?
I'm trying to modify an application which runs on Oracle to run against
PostgreSQL. I'm currently stuck on a query that I can't recognize, it
doesn't look like standard SQL.
A select is done across two tables, however when joining the foreign
key, the right hand side of the equallity has (+) appended
SELECT o.* from one o, two t where o.key = t.key(+)
Does anyone know what this does and how I can reproduce the select in
PostgreSQL?
Thanks
Chris
