Probably this explains the ERROR for the last query... The ORDER BY and LIMIT clauses are expected to end a query (except for subqueries, of course), and hence the keyword UNION is not expected after the LIMIT clause... On 6/18/06, Tom Lane <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: Joe Conway <[EMAIL PROTECTED

I don't think Cristiano is asking for the schema_name in the EXPLAIN o/p. The request is for the table ALIASes to be shown in the o/p, which makes more sense than schema_name+table_name, since the same table can be used in the same query more than once. Gurjeet. On 5/15/06, Jim C. Nasby <[EMA
