Outer joins aren't supported yet. You can generally do something like
select a2, b2 from a, b where a1 = b1 union
select a2, NULL from a where a1 not in (select b1 from b);
which is not very extensible to more than two tables. Alternatively you
can make a function that returns the corresponding value from b2 given an
a2 value, or some default if there isn't any corresponding one.
Look into the archives for outer joins for countless specifics on this.
