What goes wrong with your joined query? Look into grouping in cfoutput for the answer to your second question.
Ade -----Original Message----- From: Saturday (Stuart Kidd) [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 27 September 2005 16:02 To: CF-Talk Subject: Queries oh queries Hi, I'm trying to retrieve data from two tables in one query, when i was just querying one everything was okay: <cfquery name="GetAuthors" datasource="user020"> SELECT authorID, authorPhotograph, authorFirstName, authorSurname, authorAboutMe FROM tbl_020authorDetails WHERE authorPhotograph <> '' </cfquery> But my two table query (join) had a problem: <cfquery name="GetAuthors" datasource="user020"> SELECT tbl_020authorDetails.authorID, authorPhotograph, authorFirstName, authorSurname, authorAboutMe, tbl_020articleDetails.articleID, tbl_020articleDetails.authorID, articleTitle FROM tbl_020authorDetails, tbl_020articleDetails WHERE authorPhotograph <> ' ' AND tbl_020articleDetails.authorID = tbl_020authorDetails.authorID </cfquery> The thing is that I am trying to pull all the authors and their articles - but some authors have more than one article, is this the best way to do it? I'm also worried that if i pull the data like in the join above (if that even works properly) how do i break it down, ie how do i differentiate between getting information for individual authors? <cfoutput query="GetAuthors"> <div class="contributorminibox" onclick="javascript:clickarticle(this)"> <div class="contributorphotograph"> <img src="#PhotosWritersWeb##GetAuthors.authorPhotograph#"> </div> <div class="contributortext"> #authorFirstName# #authorSurname# <p>#ParagraphFormat(authorAboutMe)#</p> </div> <div class="contributorurls"> The titles to go here. </div> </div> </cfoutput> Thanks for any help. Should I just keep this in two queries?
