I have two queries I would like to combine into one.
I have a table that represents a user's contacts. It has fields like id,
owner_id, user_id. Owner ID cannot be null but user_id can be null. They
are numeric field, the ID is just generated.
I want a query to retrieve all of a user's contacts
Heh, scratch that, the EXISTS query DOES work. Is this the most efficient
way to perform this kind of query? Thanks!

I don't think there is one answer that's always correct, but you could
compare it with a LEFT OUTER JOIN.
There are lots of articles and blog posts about EXISTS vs OUTER JOIN
vs IN, for all the major RDBMSes. Note that not all these

I would try and express that as a left outer join, and use (c2.owner_id

You can't include an aggregate in the select if you don't group by
non-aggregates, so it should be:
