junk=# select coalesce(test1.c,test2.c) as c,(coalesce(test1.i,0) +
coalesce(test2.i,0)) as sum from test1 full outer join test2 on test1.c =
test2.c;
c | sum
---+-----
A | 8
B | 3
C | 11
(3 rows)
I think you need to install PostgreSQL 7.1 to do this.

"Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where
moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break

in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt,
and where thieves do not break through nor steal; For
where your treasure is, there will your heart be
also." Matthew 6:19-21
