 I think the most complex query I’ve done is a 7-way table join.

   I only used SQL to do the initial selection - and
   then more custom code to go through/organize that.
   Table-joins and the rest are just too evil. No
   "simple" once you get to that junk (and it's SLOW too).
   Dump the initial find to a file and use 'C' to go
   on from there.
