This is a scary thing to hear a web developer say. If you really feel that
uncomfortable about joins, you should immediately stop what you're doing and
study relational databases until you understand the basics - joins,
normalization, and declarative referential integrity. It really is that
important. I don't intend this as a personal criticism - I was in the same
situation once. But this knowledge is probably more important to your career
as a developer than any other single thing.
