But the real interesting parts are NULL-handling emulation which affects
unique index behavior (yes i know this is bad style, but i saw it quite
often) and/or NULL comparisons. What about OUTER JOIN syntax, PL/SQL? I
mean, that's what i'd expect from an oracle compatible database layer and i
was always under the impression that's what EDB wants to deliver.
(Don't get me wrong, i don't want to be rude, it's just out of curiousity)
