Oracle outer join syntax in MySQL

[John Zastrow]

I'm migrating some views from Oracle and am having a rough time getting the outer join syntax correct. This is an example view. Can someone take a shot at fixing it for MySQL? I wish MySQL supported the (+) shortcut.

CREATE OR REPLACE VIEW `wims`.`v_monitor_loc` AS
SELECT MONITOR_LOC_ID,
MONITOR_LOC_CODE,
MONITOR_LOC_NAME,
MONITOR_LOC_DESCRIPTION,
LOOK.LL_DESCRIPTION LOCATION_TYPE,
Y_LAT_DEC,
X_LON_DEC,
Z_ELEVATION,
HM.LL_DESCRIPTION HORIZ_METHOD,
HA.LL_DESCRIPTION HORIZ_ACCURACY,
HD.LL_DESCRIPTION HORIZ_REF_DATUM,
LL_ID_LOCATION_TYPE,
VERT_UNIT_ID
FROM ED_MONITOR_LOC L, ED_LOOKUP LOOK,
V_HORIZ_ACCURACY HA, V_HORIZ_METHOD HM,
V_HORIZ_REF_DATUM HD
WHERE L.LL_ID_LOCATION_TYPE = LOOK.LL_ID
AND L.LL_ID_HORIZ_METHOD = HM.LL_ID (+)
AND L.LL_ID_HORIZ_ACCURACY = HA.LL_ID (+)
AND L.LL_ID_HORIZ_REF_DATUM = HD.LL_ID (+);
