The and "book.user_id = 'giveruser'" doesn't have to be in the ON
statement does it? You could just put it into the where clause and it
should work the same.
Yeah, that's the first thing I tried, but it didn't work (on Oracle,
anyway.) When I move the explicit criteria to the WHERE clause, I seem
to lose the left-outer-ness of the join, and I only get back books for
which the book_user table has a record. I'm stumped. Anyone else?
