So the diagram was changed to http://www.sqlite.org/docsrc/artifact/8d36306fc0388a51444e35f98369d29b35a005a2 But, as you observe, this new diagram precludes LEFT JOIN. So it has now been revised again to: http://www.sqlite.org/docsrc/artifact/21606e4a148231cb739bffb698dd746b49b79a99 Your code is correct. > > -- > Alan Chandler > http://www.chandlerfamily.org.uk > _______________________________________________ > sqlite-users mailing list > sqlite-users@sqlite.org > http://sqlite.org:8080/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/sqlite-users > -- D.
