Cedar Glue Questions

I got a nice load of cedar wood reclaimed from an
an old deck. I am putting Mr. Lumber Wizard to work.

Question about indoor gluing. If I want to make a
basic panel, do I use the same methods and get the
same results from gluing, say, oak or birch?

Question about outdoor gluing. If I want to make
longer 1 X 4 rails for an outdoor bench out of
shorter (true) 1 X 4, will a lap joint and glue work,
or should I use a more elaborate joint or a special
kind of glue?

Thanks,

S.
