Yes, I was wrong to assume that c.user_info=u.id because of the LEFT JOIN.
But since I only want rows where u.id IS NOT NULL, in any case I will
also have c.user_info IS NOT NULL.
Also, having a foreign key, if c.user_info is not null, it will have a
match in u. So in that case, either both c.user_info and c.id are null
in the result rows, or they are equal.
