    Bug#28317 Left Outer Join with {oj outer-join} · cab36bdf
    davi@mysql.com/endora.local authored
    Parser rejects ODBC's escape sequences for outer joins other
    than left outer join, yet the escape sequence BNF specifies
    that this syntax can be used for left, right, and full outer
    join syntax.
    
    The problem is that although the MySQL Connector/ODBC advertises
    "Outer Join Escape Sequence" capabilities, the parsing is done
    in the server and historically it only supported this syntax
    for left outer joins and applications such as Crystal Reports
    11 tries to use this syntax for inner joins.
    
    The chosen solution is to reorganize a couple of parser rules
    to ignore any kind of SQL escape sequence. Ignoring the escape
    sequences is harmless because the various SQL join clauses
    are supported by the server.
