oracle外连接的连接运算符(+)

下面这一段代码一开始死活不出来，后来经过排查原来是(+)在作祟：

select count(*) from 

(select pb.Projid,pb.Cityname as city,pb.Regionname as region,pb.Regintypename,pb.townshipname,pb.Projname,

s.addressname as addressname,s.standardid as standardid,s.PROVINCE as province,

s.CITYNAME as cityname,s.REGIONNAME as regionname,s.ROADS as roads

from Projbase pb,Projnameaddressbase pa,Standardaddress s where pb.projid = pa.projid(+) 

and pa.standardid=s.standardid(+) 

and pb.Currphase = 400 and pb.Ifhb =0
and not exists(select m.projid from Projnameaddressbase m where m.projid=pb.projid)

order by pb.Cityid asc,pb.Projname asc)

后来才发现(+)是oracle外连接的运算符，下面总结一下它的用法：

1、该符号可以放在等号的左面，也可以放在等号的右面，但一定要放在缺少信息的那一面；

2、该符号仅适用于列，不能用在表达式上；

3、该操作符不能与ON和IN操作符一起使用
