Examples
SELECT pid FROM photo WHERE aid IN ( SELECT aid FROM album WHERE owner=''$user_id'' ) ORDER BY created DESC LIMIT 1,42
Fetch the src_big field for a user's profile picture. As this particular URL does not exist in the user table, we first obtain the profile picture's pid from the album table (the profile picture is the same as the cover_pid for the album named "Profile Pictures").
SELECT src_big FROM photo WHERE pid IN (SELECT cover_pid FROM album WHERE owner = $user_id AND name = 'Profile Pictures')
Notes: If the user can change the album name of the Profile Picture then the above will not work.
