Yes, the joins were one of the reasons I was going to do it. If no one starts a list by Saturday, then I'll start one when I go through JDBC.

That's a good thought. It'd be a useful practice to review such standard queries from time to time anyway. For example, now that outer joins work, a lot of psql's backslash-command queries could be simplified (don't need the UNION ALL WITH SELECT NULL hack). Anyone have time to work up a list? regards, tom lane
