I'm thinking that I should either change that section to a warning about why this is an unsupported feature or remove it entirely, and add some other tutorials, details TBD. Some candidates for these would include: * JOINs * set-returning functions * ARRAYs * version-dependant (I presume) hacks like ORDER BY ... LIMIT 1 vs MIN/MAX * the perennial Stuff Dave Has Not Though Of. What do you all think?
