Read-ahead, left-join, oracle problem

[ingo77]

Hi super-boosters

I need to use read-ahead for a CMR.
So I configured my jbosscmp-jdbc.xml:

<read-ahead>
on-find
<page-size>4</page-size>
<eager-load-group>basic</eager-load-group>
<left-join cmr-field="students" eager-load-group="basic"/>
</read-ahead>

So far so good, the created sql is "correct"
select column1,column2...... from a left outer join b.........

The problem is that Oracle not supports this kind of join. I need something like:
select column1,column2...... from a, b where .......

Seems to me as a common problem but I can't find a solution.

Thanks in advance for all comments, I'm kind of stuck here.

Ok, it seems to work in Oracle 9i but not in Oracle 8.1.7.

I need this to work for Oracle 8.1.7!!

Any ideas?
