+   * // result type is Array<{ name: string, profile: Profile }>
+   * await db.user.select('name', {

+   *     commentsCount: (q) => q.comments.count(),
+   *   })
+   *   .order({
+   *     commentsCount: 'DESC',

+   * await db.author.select('*', {
+   *   books: (q) => q.books.pluck('title'),
+   * });
+   * ```
+   *
+   * Internally, such selects will use `LEFT JOIN LATERAL` to join a relation.
+   * If you're loading users with profiles (one-to-one relation), and some users don't have a profile, `profile` property will have `NULL` for such users.
+   * If you want to load only users that have profiles, and filter out the rest, add `.join()` method to the relation without arguments:
+   *
+   * ```ts
+   * // load only users who have a profile
+   * await db.user.select('*', {
+   *   profile: (q) => q.profile.join(),
+   * });
+   *
+   * // load only users who have a specific profile
+   * await db.user.select('*', {
+   *   profile: (q) => q.profile.join().where({ age: { gt: 20 } }),
+   * });
+   * ```
+   *
+   * You can also use this `.join()` method on the one-to-many relations, and records with empty array will be filtered out:
+   *
+   * ```ts
+   * // posts that have no tags won't be loaded
+   * // result type is Array<Post & { tags: Tag[] }>
+   * db.post.select('*', {
+   *   tags: (q) => q.tags.join(),
+   * });
+   * ```
+   *
+   * # Joins
+   *
+   * `join` methods allows to join other tables, relations by name, [with](/guide/advanced-queries#with) statements, sub queries.
+   *
+   * All the `join` methods accept the same arguments, but returning type is different because with `join` it's guaranteed to load joined table, and with `leftJoin` the joined table columns may be `NULL` when no matching record was found.
+   *
+   * For the following examples, imagine we have a `User` table with `id` and `name`, and `Message` table with `id`, `text`, messages belongs to user via `userId` column:
+   *
+   * ```ts
+   * export class UserTable extends BaseTable {
+   *   readonly table = 'user';
+   *   columns = this.setColumns((t) => ({
+   *     id: t.identity().primaryKey(),
+   *     name: t.text(),
+   *   }));
+   *
+   *   relations = {
+   *     messages: this.hasMany(() => MessageTable, {
+   *       primaryKey: 'id',
+   *       foreignKey: 'userId',
+   *     }),
+   *   };
+   * }
+   *
+   * export class MessageTable extends BaseTable {
+   *   readonly table = 'message';
+   *   columns = this.setColumns((t) => ({
+   *     id: t.identity().primaryKey(),
+   *     text: t.text(),
+   *     ...t.timestamps(),
+   *   }));
+   *
+   *   relations = {
+   *     user: this.belongsTo(() => UserTable, {
+   *       primaryKey: 'id',
+   *       foreignKey: 'userId',
+   *     }),
+   *   };
+   * }
+   * ```
+   *
+   * ## join
+   *
+   * `join` is a method for SQL `JOIN`, which is equivalent to `INNER JOIN`, `LEFT INNERT JOIN`.
+   *
+   * When no matching record is found, it will skip records of the main table.
+   *
+   * ### join relation
+   *
+   * When relations are defined between the tables, you can join them by a relation name.
+   * Joined table can be references from `where` and `select` by a relation name.
+   *
+   * ```ts
+   * const result = await db.user
+   *   .join('messages')
+   *   // after joining a table, we can use it in `where` conditions:
+   *   .where({ 'messages.text': { startsWith: 'Hi' } })
+   *   .select(
+   *     'name', // name is User column, table name may be omitted
+   *     'messages.text', // text is the Message column, and the table name is required
+   *   );
+   *
+   * // result has the following type:
+   * const ok: { name: string; text: string }[] = result;
+   * ```
+   *
+   * The first argument can also be a callback, where instead of relation name as a string we're picking it as a property of `q`.
+   * In such a way, we can alias the relation with `as`, add `where` conditions, use other query methods.
+   *
+   * ```ts
+   * const result = await db.user.join((q) =>
+   *   q.messages.as('m').where({ text: 'some text' }),
+   * );
+   * ```
+   *
+   * Optionally, you can pass a second callback argument, it makes `on` and `orOn` methods available.
+   *
+   * But remember that when joining a relation, the needed `ON` conditions are already handled automatically.
+   *
+   * ```ts
+   * const result = await db.user.join(
+   *   (q) => q.messages.as('m'),
+   *   (q) =>
+   *     q
+   *       .on('text', 'name') // additionally, match message with user name
+   *       .where({ text: 'some text' }), // you can add `where` in a second callback as well.
+   * );
+   * ```
+   *
+   * ### Selecting full joined records
+   *
+   * `select` supports selecting a full record of a previously joined table by passing a table name with `.*` at the end:
+   *
+   * ```ts
+   * const result = await db.book.join('author').select('title', {
+   *   author: 'author.*',
+   * });
+   *
+   * // result has the following type:
+   * const ok: {
+   *   // title of the book
+   *   title: string;
+   *   // a full author record is included:
+   *   author: { id: number; name: string; updatedAt: Date; createdAt: Date };
+   * }[] = result;
+   * ```
+   *
+   * It works fine for `1:1` (`belongsTo`, `hasOne`) relations, but it may have an unexpected result for `1:M` or `M:M` (`hasMany`, `hasAndBelongsToMany`) relations.
+   * For any kind of relation, it results in one main table record with data of exactly one joined table record, i.e. when selecting in this way, the records **won't** be collected into arrays.
+   *
+   * ```ts
+   * const result = await db.user
+   *   .join('messages')
+   *   .where({ 'messages.text': { startsWith: 'Hi' } })
+   *   .select('name', { messages: 'messages.*' });
+   *
+   * // result has the following type:
+   * const ok: {
+   *   name: string;
+   *   // full message is included:
+   *   messages: { id: number; text: string; updatedAt: Date; createdAt: Date };
+   * }[] = result;
+   * ```
+   *
+   * Because it's a one-to-many relation, one user has many messages, the user data will be duplicated for different messages data:
+   *
+   * | name   | msg                            |
+   * | ------ | ------------------------------ |
+   * | user 1 | `{ id: 1, text: 'message 1' }` |
+   * | user 1 | `{ id: 2, text: 'message 2' }` |
+   * | user 1 | `{ id: 3, text: 'message 3' }` |
+   *
+   * ### join table
+   *
+   * If relation wasn't defined, provide a `db.table` instance and specify columns for the join.
+   * Joined table can be references from `where` and `select` by a table name.
+   *
+   * ```ts
+   * // Join message where userId = id:
+   * db.user
+   *   .join(db.message, 'userId', 'id')
+   *   .where({ 'message.text': { startsWith: 'Hi' } })
+   *   .select('name', 'message.text');
+   * ```
+   *
+   * Columns in the join list may be prefixed with table names for clarity:
+   *
+   * ```ts
+   * db.user.join(db.message, 'message.userId', 'user.id');
+   * ```
+   *
+   * Joined table can have an alias for referencing it further:
+   *
+   * ```ts
+   * db.user
+   *   .join(db.message.as('m'), 'message.userId', 'user.id')
+   *   .where({ 'm.text': { startsWith: 'Hi' } })
+   *   .select('name', 'm.text');
+   * ```
+   *
+   * Joined table can be selected as an object as well as the relation join above:
+   *
+   * ```ts
+   * const result = await db.user
+   *   .join(db.message.as('m'), 'message.userId', 'user.id')
+   *   .where({ 'm.text': { startsWith: 'Hi' } })
+   *   .select('name', { msg: 'm.*' });
+   *
+   * // result has the following type:
+   * const ok: {
+   *   name: string;
+   *   // full message is included as msg:
+   *   msg: { id: number; text: string; updatedAt: Date; createdAt: Date };
+   * }[] = result;
+   * ```
+   *
+   * You can provide a custom comparison operator
+   *
+   * ```ts
+   * db.user.join(db.message, 'userId', '!=', 'id');
+   * ```
+   *
+   * Join can accept raw SQL for the `ON` part of join:
+   *
+   * ```ts
+   * db.user.join(
+   *   db.message,
+   *   db.user.sql`lower("message"."text") = lower("user"."name")`,
+   * );
+   * ```
+   *
+   * Join can accept raw SQL instead of columns:
+   *
+   * ```ts
+   * db.user.join(
+   *   db.message,
+   *   db.user.sql`lower("message"."text")`,
+   *   db.user.sql`lower("user"."name")`,
+   * );
+   *
+   * // with operator:
+   * db.user.join(
+   *   db.message,
+   *   db.user.sql`lower("message"."text")`,
+   *   '!=',
+   *   db.user.sql`lower("user"."name")`,
+   * );
+   * ```
+   *
+   * To join based on multiple columns, you can provide an object where keys are joining table columns, and values are main table columns or a raw SQL:
+   *
+   * ```ts
+   * db.user.join(db.message, {
+   *   userId: 'id',
+   *
+   *   // with table names:
+   *   'message.userId': 'user.id',
+   *
+   *   // value can be a raw SQL expression:
+   *   text: db.user.sql`lower("user"."name")`,
+   * });
+   * ```
+   *
+   * Join all records without conditions by providing `true`:
+   *
+   * ```ts
+   * db.user.join(db.message, true);
+   * ```
+   *
+   * Join methods can accept a callback with a special query builder that has `on` and `orOn` methods for handling advanced cases:
+   *
+   * ```ts
+   * db.user.join(
+   *   db.message,
+   *   (q) =>
+   *     q
+   *       // left column is the db.message column, right column is the db.user column

+   *       .on('userId', 'id') // where message.userId = user.id
+   *       .orOn('text', 'name'), // or message.text = user.name
+   * );
+   * ```
+   *
+   * Join query builder supports all `where` methods: `.where`, `.whereIn`, `.whereExists`, and all `.or`, `.not`, and `.orNot` forms.
+   *
+   * Column names in the where conditions are applied for the joined table, but you can specify a table name to add a condition for the main table.
+   *
+   * ```ts
+   * db.user.join(db.message, (q) =>
+   *   q
+   *     .on('userId', 'id')
+   *     .where({
+   *       // not prefixed column name is for joined table:
+   *       text: { startsWith: 'hello' },
+   *       // specify a table name to set condition on the main table:
+   *       'user.name': 'Bob',
+   *     })
+   *     // id is a column of a joined table Message
+   *     .whereIn('id', [1, 2, 3])
+   *     // condition for id of a user
+   *     .whereIn('user.id', [4, 5, 6]),
+   * );
+   * ```
+   *
+   * The query above will generate the following SQL (simplified):
+   *
+   * ```sql
+   * SELECT * FROM "user"
+   * JOIN "message"
+   *   ON "message"."userId" = "user"."id"
+   *  AND "message"."text" ILIKE 'hello%'
+   *  AND "user"."name" = 'Bob'
+   *  AND "message"."id" IN (1, 2, 3)
+   *  AND "user"."id" IN (4, 5, 6)
+   * ```
+   *
+   * The join argument can be a query with `select`, `where`, and other methods. In such case, it will be handled as a sub query:
+   *
+   * ```ts
+   * db.user.join(
+   *   db.message
+   *     .select('id', 'userId', 'text')
+   *     .where({ text: { startsWith: 'Hi' } })
+   *     .as('t'),
+   *   'userId',
+   *   'id',
+   * );
+   * ```
+   *
+   * It will produce such SQL:
+   *
+   * ```sql
+   * SELECT * FROM "user"
+   * JOIN (
+   *   SELECT "t"."id", "t"."userId", "t"."text"
+   *   FROM "message" AS "t"
+   * ) "t" ON "t"."userId" = "user"."id"
+   * ```
