I've a query which I'd have liked to word akin to:

I got around it by doing the SELECT id first, and then doing a SELECT
guid for each row returned, appending the results together.
Can that be done in a single query, insead of 1+n queries?
Will this work?
SELECT guid
FROM child
INNER JOIN parent ON (
child.the_fkey =
parent.id AND
)
WHERE name ~ 'some_regex'
ORDER BY
child.the_fkey,
child.my_pkey
;
I am not sure what table name is from but since you say it is n+1 queries I assume it is from the child table? It would help to know what columns are on which tables.
