Does instantdb support doing between more than two tables, or more
specifically from two tables to a third table?

I've successfully run outer joins between two tables using the following
syntax:

SELECT areas.ar_num, uperm.up_num
FROM areas NATURAL LEFT OUTER JOIN uperm

(no where clause, both tables have an ar_num column which holds the keys
to join both tables).

but when I try to involve a third table with an outer join to the areas
table, it just doesn't return the results I expect. I've tried
unsuccessfully syntax like:

SELECT areas.ar_num, uperm.up_num, gperm.gp_num
FROM areas NATURAL LEFT OUTER JOIN uperm,
   areas NATURAL LEFT OUTER JOIN gperm

or even things like:

SELECT a.ar_num, uperm.up_num, gperm.gp_num
FROM areas a NATURAL LEFT OUTER JOIN uperm,
   areas b NATURAL LEFT OUTER JOIN gperm
WHERE a.ar_num = b.ar_num

Is what I'm trying to do supported? If so, which is the correct syntax?

thanks in advance

Santiago
