Considerations when using the NATURALLEFTOUTERJOIN function
There is no sort order guarantee for the results.
Columns being joined on must have the same data type in both tables.
The columns used in the join condition are only columns with the same data lineage or with the same name and no data lineage corresponding to physical columns of the data model.
Strict comparison semantics are used during join. There is no type coercion; for example, 1 does not equal 1.0.
