While using the Old syntax of outer join i encountered Ora-01719 error .

Question

This is quite strange when i used the Old way of using Outer Joins(+), i encountered the Ora-01719 error saying Outer Joins not allowed in Or and IN operator.Whereas when i use the ANSI sql i query gets executed without any error.Any idea what might be the reason..is it that i myself is making mistake.

Some things are simply not allowed with the "+" outer-join syntax.
There are work-arounds, but they are harder to code and slower to run than simply using ANSI syntax.
I recommend always using ANSI syntax, especially for outer joins.
