[SQL] Full outer join

[Tim Perdue]

Looking at the docs for 7.1, it appears that full outer joins are supported:
http://www.postgresql.org/devel-corner/docs/user/queries.html

However, I keep getting this error, and I don't know what it means:
ERROR:  FULL JOIN is only supported with mergejoinable join conditions

I've tried several variations and keep getting the same error.

Anyone have any ideas?

Details below.

Thanks,

Tim

SELECT day,filerelease_id

FULL OUTER JOIN stats_ftp_downloads sf USING (day,filerelease_id)) ;
