Thanks so much! Could I make it even simpler and drop the case entirely? select p.*, s.NoOfSentences from page p, lateral (select count(*) as NoOfSentences from sentence s where s."PageURL" = p."URL") s where "Classification" like 'health' order by "PublishDate" desc limit 100; I'm not sure what "case WHEN 'health'<>'' THEN 'health' ELSE '%' end" does. I follow everything just fine until I get to the 'health'<>'' condition. What does the single quotation mark mean? I can't seem to find it in the documentation. -David -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
