We had to do something like that to get acceptable performance from Sybase ASE. That code probably has not been changed since migrating to PostgreSQL, and since we have a strong portability mandate, it probably should be left alone, since the penalty for the extra join in PostgreSQL is small and the penalty for not having it in Sybase ASE is large. In short, it would be a welcome optimization here, although (in our case) a relatively minor one. -Kevin
