I just realized what I posted was perfectly valid SQL. The following is more what I had in mind: (SELECT x,y,z FROM A UNION SELECT x,y,z FROM B) AB JOIN C ON C.z = AB.z This version certainly does throw an error. Basically I'm wondering if there is a way to get Postgres to treat the result of a UNION as a table on which I could perform subsequent operations (like a JOIN).
