title: PostgreSQL doesn't recognize STRAIGHT_JOIN
body: <pre><code>SELECT  STRAIGHT_JOIN s.*, date_part('epoch', s.date) AS unixdate, 
    date_part('epoch', s.expire) as expireunix, u.username, u.fullname, 
    u.photo, u.email, t.topic, t.imageurl  
  FROM stories s, users u, topics t WHERE (s.uid = u.uid) AND (s.tid = t.tid)
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>It says:</p>
  
  <pre><code>ERROR: syntax error at or near "s"
  SQL state: 42601
  Character: 23
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I'm doing a join but its giving me that error. If I remove the <code>STRAIGHT_JOIN</code> keyword it executes without any problems. But are there any negatives to remove it?</p>
