Can anyone give me any hints on why a JOIN may be failing with this weird
error....



I can DESCRIBE the two tables it is joining

justurls: {tweetid: bytearray,userid: bytearray,url: bytearray}
userdb: {ouruserid: bytearray,friendid: bytearray}

and the join itself is


urlspertimeline = JOIN userdb   BY friendid,
                       justurls BY userid;
