There is provided a computer-executable method of executing an outer join on a parallel database management system. An exemplary method comprises receiving an outer skewed values list (SVL). The outer SVL may comprise values that are indicated to be skewed. The exemplary method further comprises receiving an inner SVL. The inner SVL may comprise values that are indicated to be skewed. Additionally, the exemplary method comprises partitioning the outer table and the inner table across a plurality of join instances, based on the outer SVL and the inner SVL. A missing skew value is identified. The missing skewed value may be a value of the inner SVL that is not found in the inner table. The outer join is performed using the plurality of join instances, based on the missing skewed value.
