Thanks for the suggestion. This is not ideal for a couple of reasons: I'm using an object-relational layer that would have to be hacked up something fierce, and my actual query would be pretty hairy:
(select * from t1 where a=x union select t1.* from t1,t2 where t1.b=t2.b and t2.c=y union select t1.* from t1,t2 where t1.b=t2.b and t2.d=z ) order by e I guess this is what a good optimizer would generate behind the scenes, but it'd be nice not to have to know about it.
