What kinds of tables are these? Are they different types?

As you are issueing an SQL command. but not specifying the data source, then you are relying on the internal capabilitis of WebFOCUS with SQL.

If the source is a relational one, then specify file type.

i.e. for oracle it would be SQL SQLORA...

This is called SQL Passthrough. The SQL is passed directly to the RDBMS

I have the same problem.
The documentation states the SQL Translator supports LEFT OUTER JOINs and furthermore than it is ANSI Level 2 compliant.
If so, why is
[1] something as basic as a LEFT JOIN not supported and
[2] has this been fixed in a future version
(Focus 7.6)

As of my version of FOCUS it is far from ANSI Level 2 compliant.

Any comments from IBI?
