All,

I've encountered a mental block due primarily to my inexperience with
moderately complex joins.  Given the following three tables:

                    Table "public.users"
  Column   |          Type          |       Modifiers
-----------+------------------------+-----------------------
 userid    | bigint                 | not null
 lname     | character varying(64)  | not null
 fname     | character varying(64)  | not null
 passwd    | character varying(64)  | not null
 is_active | boolean                | not null default true

               Table "public.user_emailaddrs"
  Column   |          Type          |       Modifiers
-----------+------------------------+-----------------------
 userid    | bigint                 | not null
 emailaddr | character varying(256) | not null
 is_active | boolean                | not null default true

                       Table "public.usermetas"
     Column     |            Type             |       Modifiers
----------------+-----------------------------+------------------------
 userid         | bigint                      | not null
 startdate      | timestamp without time zone | not null default now()
 lastlogindate  | timestamp without time zone | not null default now()
 lastpwchange   | timestamp without time zone | not null default now()
 logincount     | integer                     | not null default 1

users and usermetas is a one-to-one relationship.
users and user_emailaddrs is a one-to-many relationship.

What is the best way to get these tables joined on userid and return
all emailaddr records from user_emailaddrs (e.g. if userid has three
(3) e-mail addresses in user_emailaddrs)?  Is there any way to avoid
returning all fields in triplicate? Please feel free to criticize
where necessary.  Thank you very much in advance.
