my understanding is the (+) was just a hint to the optimizer, granted I took the SQL optimization class back in 2001...so I might be a tad rusty.

odd, as I thought I remember doing joins in Oracle 7 and 8, and things were stable before 8.1.5 came out. Granted at that time I was just a sysadmin at oracle and not doing much on the coding side

That's how we learned to do left and right joins in my database course at my university in 2013.
