Ray,

That didn't work:
bustrac-# FROM people as p, companies as c
bustrac-# LEFT JOIN companies as c ON c.company_nbr = p.company_nbr;
ERROR:  table name "c" specified more than once

so I tried only the alias on the join line:
bustrac-# LEFT JOIN c ON c.company_nbr = p.company_nbr;
ERROR:  relation "c" does not exist
LINE 3: LEFT JOIN c ON c.company_nbr = p.company_nbr;
                   ^
and that didn't work either.

Thanks,

Rich
