Andrew, you cannot do this with MySQL.  MySQL does not support nested
queries nor union clauses.  You could attempt this with Postgres, but
you still wouldn't be able to have multiple columns from one table all
in one column in a result from another table.  The best way to do this
is to use 2 queries if you are using MySQL.  If you want to use postgres
you could do this with a stored procedure or a really advanced nested
query but then the nested query would probably run slower than 2 simple
queries. :)

Good luck
Andrew
