Implement JOIN ... USING syntax
-------------------------------

                 Key: DERBY-4370
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DERBY-4370
             Project: Derby
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: SQL
    Affects Versions: 10.6.0.0
            Reporter: Knut Anders Hatlen
            Priority: Minor


The SQL standard defines two ways to specify the join condition in an INNER 
JOIN or a (LEFT/RIGHT/FULL) OUTER JOIN: with an ON clause or with a USING 
clause. Derby currently only accepts joins with an ON clause. Internally, Derby 
has code that supports USING. This code should be enabled to ease the migration 
to Derby. We must also verify that the implementation adheres to the standard 
before we enable it.

Since USING is already a reserved keyword in Derby's parser, enabling the USING 
syntax should not cause any compatibility issues for existing queries.
