On a general note, this older outer join syntax to simulate a not-in
requires ALL the "b" columns to include the (+) sign, including the
"nvl...", except the "b.cusip is null", which is the not-in itself. If you
miss one, the logic is completely changed.

9i's new syntax does outer-joins by doing the outer on the tables, rather
than the columns, so you can no longer do this outer "simulation"!

In this case, you can achieve the same thing with a not-in, rather than (+),
in the SQL syntax (assuming you see a HASH AJ in the plan somewhere).
