Dear Scott,

I once have the same problem. In my case it's because most of my table

We made most of our text, varchar columns citext data types so that we
could do case insensitive searches. Is this going to negate most of the

citext data type then need to use ILIKE instead?

You can always do this which would result in minimum hassles.

this gives you what your asking for and at least at this point isn't

Instead of the joins you can use a subquery to get the first address.
Or you can do the joins without the group by and use row_number()
over(partition by companies.id) on the select list to label each company
address with a number starting at 1. You can just keep rows that have

I assume you are doing an update as opposed to an insert. You use
both above (and both numeric and int as well).
