Will this work?
SELECT guid
FROM child
INNER JOIN parent ON (
child.the_fkey = parent.id
AND
)
WHERE name ~ 'some_regex'
ORDER BY
child.the_fkey,
child.my_pkey
;
I am not sure what table name is from but since you say it is n+1 queries I
assume it is from the child table? It would help to know what columns are
on which tables.
