Join in oracle8i and oracle9i

Question

hi all
i am using oracle8i.
SQL> select * from employee;
ID NAME
1 pavan
2 kiran
SQL> select * from salary;
ID SALARY
1 100
SQL> select employee.id,salary.id from employee,salary where employee.id=salary.id(+);
ID ID
1 1
2
Will the query which i have written in 8i equal to the following in 9i?
select employee.id,salary.id from outer salary,employee where employee.id=salary.id
and Does OUTER in 9i means Left if nothing is specified??
Any inputs will be really helpful
Thanks and Regards
Pavan
