Sorry Jochem you were right. Anyway, to get things more concise here, perhaps I'm not even doing the right kind of join... here is my db structure...
http://www.webgoblins.net/db.gif The Last Code I tried was Jochems and while it did run succesfully, there were no results returned. Essentially What I'm doing is selecting all related categories from the where all the ( auction_item_categories_sub.category_id = 1 ) and then it should filter down with the appropriate logic. The trouble is, I'm not having a great time finding that logic. [CODE] SELECT * FROM (((( auction_item_categories_sub5 s5 INNER JOIN auction_item_categories_sub4 s4 ON s5.category_id = s4.id) INNER JOIN auction_item_categories_sub3 s3 ON s4.category_id = s3.id) INNER JOIN auction_item_categories_sub2 s2 ON s3.category_id = s2.id) INNER JOIN auction_item_categories_sub s ON s2.category_id = s.id) INNER JOIN auction_item_categories c ON s.category_id = c.id WHERE c.id = 1 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Find out how CFTicket can increase your company's customer support efficiency by 100% http://www.houseoffusion.com/banners/view.cfm?bannerid=49 Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:4:190637 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/4 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:4 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
