In the above command, I just add another table reference to it and it gives me two different results.
Even I add columns like B.* to it, it do the same things too. Is it not consistance?
In real world, I don't know the 'country' table is empty or not.
Sometime it is empty and sometime it is not empty, this will confuse me whether my program has bug or not.
