Hi,
asume I've got 2 tables
objects ( id int, name text )
attributes ( object_id int, value int )
attributes has a default entry with object_id = 0 and some other where
another value should be used.
e.g.
objects
( 1, 'A' ),
( 2, 'B' ),
( 3, 'C' )
attributes
( 0, 42 ),
( 2, 99 )
The result of the join should look like this:
object_id, name, value
1, 'A', 42
2, 'B', 99
3, 'C', 42
I could figure something out with 2 JOINs, UNION and some DISTINCT ON
but this would make my real query rather chunky. :(
Is there an elegant way to get this?
