Thanks for your reply!

  Unfortunately, in both cases I get the error:

nmc=> SELECT dom_id, dom_name, COUNT(usr_dom_id) AS usr_count FROM domains JOIN users ON (usr_dom_id=dom_id) HAVING COUNT (usr_dom_id) > 0 ORDER BY dom_name;
ERROR:  syntax error at or near "COUNT" at character 25
LINE 1: SELECT dom_id, dom_name COUNT(usr_dom_id) AS usr_count FROM ...

Try to avoid missing the comma before the COUNT (and do not cheat when
cut'n pasting ...)

Also it seems you will need a GROUP BY clause:
GROUP BY dom_id, dom_name
(placed just before the HAVING clause).

Bingo!

Now to answer the performance questions (using my actual queries, unedited so they are a little longer):

So using the JOIN you all helped me with, the query returns in 2.454 ms compared to my early query of 10.593 ms!

I have not yet looked into any indexing either. I am waiting until the program is done and then will go back and review queries to look for bottlenecks.

  Thanks to all of you!!
