Re: Several left outer joins on a same table

Templ,

What exactly is your question here? You can easily test your sql out in
psql. AFAIK, postgres should handle two outer joins. If you have access
to the source for the driver have a look at the getImportedExported keys
to see very complex sql selects that do multiple joins on the same
tables
