I had a suspicion that JOIN was going to be part of the answer. I
guess I had not found documentation that really helped. I have been
searching for more information.
I found this:
11.2. Controlling the Planner with Explicit JOINs
I guess I am just slow.... It mentions 'inner joins', outer joins, left
joins. .... I get lost. Where can I get more info. I really want to
understand.
Thanks for your time. I guess it's back to the bookstore.
