As you can see my SQL ability is poor ... you are of course absolutely
right ...

Which query would be most efficient, the one you gave or

select id from products where maker_id='53' UNION select prod_id from
rel_genres_movies where minor_id='11'

I think they are both equivalent but I am wondering which is most
