Howdy,

I just saw this in the docs:

Finally, NATURAL is a shorthand form of USING: it forms a USING list consisting of exactly those column names that appear in both input tables. As with USING, these columns appear only once in the output table.

That sounds useful if I happen to have named my columns exactly the same between the two tables, but couldn't a NATURAL JOIN follow the FK constraints, instead? That would be so much more useful and much less magical, I should think.

Thanks,

David
