Magento 2 - Retrieve some products data (name, price, stock qty, images, categories...) from SQL query. On Magento Commerce versions, you will have to replace `entity_id` by `row_id`.

I'm not sure if our local instance got messed up or what but relation e.entity_id = x.row_id returned completely wrong items. I had to make relation e.row_id = x.row_id (catalog_product_entity.row_id = catalog_product_entity_varchar.row_id). I am still investigating this on our local instance and implementation...

Also, keep in mind that you probably want a distinct on that query, because on EE, your items with Scheduled changes will return all scheduled changes so you will get 3 rows for one SKU; 1. original one, 2. begining of scheduled change, 3. end of scheduled change. So as I said, either distinct or WHERE catalog_product_entity.created_in = 1
