Perhaps it runs faster, but it still does the unnecessary search into right- hand table: sqlite> explain query plan select name from employee inner join Uniform on employee.id=uniform.employeeid; 0|0|0|SCAN TABLE employee (~1000000 rows) 0|1|1|SEARCH TABLE Uniform USING INTEGER PRIMARY KEY (rowid=?) (~1 rows) (this actual query goes into a view that I make available to app's "customers") > Or do this which I think does exactliy what you are thinking... > sqlite> select name from Employee where id in (select employeeid from > Uniform); Nope, that's effectively a inner join instead of an outer join.
