Can you do a “Join of a Join”? Like if I have three tables: a, b, and c, and ‘a’ and ‘b’ are connected via foreign key, and ‘b’ and ‘c’ are connected via foreign key, and I’m querying table ‘a’… Can I do a join of table a-\>b, and THEN a join of table b-\>c? Does that make sense? (Sorry if this is a noob question).
