Subject: JOIN syntax
Date: Mon, 26 Jun 2000 00:05:58 +0100

Looking at SQL92, it seems that I ought to be able to do this:

SELECT * FROM invoice INNER JOIN (SELECT * FROM invoice_line WHERE lineno > 1) 
ON invoice.invno = invoice_line.invno;
ERROR:  parser: parse error at or near "("

(I know it can be successfully expressed in a more complex WHERE clause).

Is there anything wrong with the syntax, or is it a missing feature?
