Oracle supports ANSI99 outer join syntax

Perhaps it's new in 9i, but Oracle does support ANSI standards. Please look at:

Also, my 2 cents is that Oracle installation is usually painless (of course, always go to custom installation or it will install everything you don't need). It never took me more than an hour to install it properly.

My preference for Oracle is centered in two aspects: the wonderful and robust transaction model and backup/recovery features. Also, it's very stable. I can sleep at night.
