I'm trying to do what I think is an outer-join:

SELECT da.datname as database,de.description as comment
FROM pg_database as da,pg_description as de
WHERE 
(da.oid = de.objoid)

Obviously, if there are no descriptions, no values will be returned.
What I want is to display all databases, with comments (valid or null).

How do I form the WHERE clause?
Thanks,
