Join to one in Oracle Database 26ai

Oracle Database 26ai introduces `JOIN TO ONE`, a SQL construct that enforces many-to-one join semantics by preventing silent row multiplication and raising errors when a join would return multiple matches for a row in the subject table. The feature relies on foreign key metadata or explicit join conditions, defaults to a left outer join, and is particularly valuable for detecting problematic query patterns such as chasm traps and unintended many-to-many expansions.
