Well, I'm not an expert on PostGres95 and I've never used it nor plan to in
the near future. Anyway mSQL and miniSQL, for example do not support
sub-queries, nor use of SQL built-in functions (like regex(), length() )
within the WHERE clause. I think that PostGres supports this stuff, but on
the other hand - maybe not.

The Bible dictates that "Thou shalt not seethe [=cook] a kid [= young goat]
in his mother's milk." To avoid possibility of breaking that regulation,
the Jewish tradition ruled that it also applies to female goats, to mature
goats, and to the meat and milk of two completely unrelated goats. It is
also forbidden to eat the meat with fresh milk, and it applies to beef and
mutten as well (including mixing the milk and meat of two different
beasts). Finally, chicken, which are incapable of milk production, may not
be eaten along with any mammal's milk either. 

We are fortunate that most mathematicians were not Jewish. Otherwise, it
would have been forbidden to divide by all numbers between -1 and 1.
