Could someone first please confirm that left joins are really this broken in postgres. Perhaps it's something in Sergey's setup/build of postgres.

Left joins are *so* much more readable than normal joins.

Seems to be postgresql problem. This query is used in 3 places:
2 times in dbmsgbuf.c and 1 time in dbsearch.c. I changed them and till now everything works fine...

# postgres --version
postgres (PostgreSQL) 7.3.6


This query is a good candidate for being replaced then. Strange that PostgreSQL's query planner doesn't do this right...

Since the query will also work in MySQL I'll change it (unless anybody has any good reason for not doing it.)
