I'd like to create a temporary table to "shadow" one of my persistent
tables. It will have the same columns and hold "override" values that,
when present, take precedence over the real values. So, I'd like to
search for a row by primary key, looking first in the override table,
and if not found, then in the real table. The result will always be
zero or 1 rows.

I can do this with two SELECTs, but that doesn't seem to be the most
efficient approach. I'm sure this is easy and obvious with some
combination of UNION, ORDER BY, and LIMIT or something, but I can't
figure it out.

Any help greatly appreciated.

Keith
