Works fine for me with a limited database to work with. I'll create multiple characters just to fuddle with when I get home tonight.
Guess it just ignores them, since it doesn't make sense to return them.

I'm a little more familiar with MS-SQL, which I'm pretty sure would throw an error there.

Either way, I'm betting that data like this would be done as a nightly / hourly load to the message board db, rather than an on demand directly from the game db. It's not really very important that it's up-to-the-second information. This kind of aggregation isn't overly costly, but more costly than I'm sure it needs to be.
