I'm no SQL expert by any means so I'm wondering if something like this
is possible.
I have two tables like this:
create table Errors (
Id serial not null,
CreateDate timestamp not null,
primary key (Id)
);
create table ErrorValues (
Id serial not null,
ErrorId int not null,
Name varchar(255) not null,
Value text not null,
primary key (Id),
foreign key (ErrorId) references Errors (Id)
);
Now, selecting specific ErrorValues with a bunch of names that are
related to an Error is of course pretty simple. But I want to go the
other way. I want to query for:
'give me all Errors that have the Code=1234 AND Address=1.2.3.4 AND
Type=OSX Name/Value pairs'
What is a good recipe to deal with this? Is something like this
possible with standard sql? Is there a nice PG way to do this?
Are there good books that cover real world stuff like this?
So many questions from a SQL noob.

TIP 9: In versions below 8.0, the planner will ignore your desire to
choose an index scan if your joining column's datatypes do not
match
