Ooops, I misread "n.nid = nl.nid" as "n.nid = nl.id". Sorry for the
bogus advice.
Try rephrasing as
FROM (note_links nl JOIN notes n ON (n.nid = nl.nid)) LEFT JOIN calendar c ON (n.nid = c.nid)
WHERE ...
The way you were writing it forced the LEFT JOIN to be done first,
whereas what you want is for the note_links-to-notes join to be done
first. See
