Are you expecting that there are duplicate "person_id" entries? If not, then remove that field from the select list because if each person_id field is a unique (PK) then you'll get one row back for each entry. Plus, I don't think that I've ever seen a sub-select statement that qualifies as a valid FROM clause, however, sub-select statements are often used to return single-column lists to be used in WHERE clause as in
