Exercise 5: Outer Join?

Above discussion was all in terms of theta inner-join.

How would the algorithms above adapt to outer join?

Consider the following ...

select *
from   R left outer join S on (R.i = S.j)

select *
from   R right outer join S on (R.i = S.j)

select *
from   R full outer join S on (R.i = S.j)
