  • I have read the contribution docs, and understand what's expected of me.

Link to the page on docs.getdbt.com requiring updates

https://docs.getdbt.com/docs/build/join-logic#types-of-joins

What part(s) of the page would you like to see updated?

Based on internal slack feedback, we can 'd just say that the docs do not seem to reference using full outer joins. It just says dbt does left joins.

Greater details on how MetricFlow determines what join to do, and how to ensure that the autogenerated SQL will produce accurate results would be super helpful
