Thanks--also would like to clarify our support for joins and subqueries.

Looks like we support standard inner and outer equijoins but not
cross-joins or non-equijoins. Is this correct?

Do we support subqueries in general in the select list, from clause, and
where clause? I assume so. We already have a restriction documented for
correlated subqueries (they fail if not rewritten as equijoins). Any other
subquery notes or limitations?
