It's not standard SQL it's an Oracle extension. This could be why Oracle
refers it as the "Oracle join operator." This is a rather proprietary term
for something that you claim is an SQL standard. Oracle also does not
recommend using the (+) operator in favour of the left [outer] join syntax
because of numerous restrictions.
