クエリの一部について簡単に説明します。

このクエリは、特に、同じテーブルを使用した結合（p1 と p2）でテーブルを参照する方法を示しています。この例では、双生児の一方が 65 歳以前に死亡しているかどうかの確認に使用されています。死亡している場合、そのレコードは返されません。

上で説明したカラムは、双生児関連のすべてのテーブルで定義されています。クエリの実行速度を向上するために、id,tvab の両方（すべてのテーブル）および id,ptvab （person_data）をキーとしています。

当社の実稼働マシン（200MHz UltraSPARC）では、このクエリは 150 〜 200 件のレコードを返し、所要時間は 1 秒未満です。

上記のクエリで使用されている各テーブルの現在のレコード数を以下に示します。
