Ha. KISS would be sticking to left joins and profiling their performance (with the appropriate indexes added) and finding alternative solutions only when it’s proven to be a problem, instead of… declaring left joins to be slow and immediately jumping the gun

Hey, thank you - already did that. Think 100 orders displayed on a page with each row having total, subtotals, discounts, tax owing, and gift card uses.

I also get to save a lot of money on server costs by doing this as DB is completely avoided.
