OK - I see that it works now - which is great! 

However, it's unclear to me what, exactly, it is that is "TRUE"? 

What am I joining to what?

The syntax is unclear to me - if I'm joining, I should be joining on 
tab_A.field_x = tab_B.field_y - no?

Why does SQL Server's OUTER APPLY not require this?

Thanks for any input - Merci, À+

Rgs,
