You're right, Dan, this is a really cool example of SQL doing what it
does best.  The fact that you have to sort and/or filter based on joined
files makes SQL pretty much the only choice.

In fact, I'm tempted to use a variation of this particular problem on
the website.  In fact, I want to use two variations: one where you DON'T
need a workfile and one where you do (that will be determined by the
sort/filter requirements).  When I start building "real world" examples,
this will be a good foundation.
