Well, more like "and v.tag_id is not null". But yes, the EXISTS seems
pretty stupid. Also, having done that, the left join reduces to a plain
inner join and you don't even need the NOT NULL. IOW this should just be
select count(t.trame_id) as count, v.voiture_num as voitureNum from
arch_trames t join voiture v on (v.tag_id=t.tag_id)
where (t.recept_time >= 1243509320691)
group by v.voiture_num order by v.voiture_num
