in MySQL you can do this: SELECT e.eventID, e.eventName, (SELECT GROUP_CONCAT(ed.eventDate, ', ') FROM EventDates ed WHERE ed.EventID = e.EventID AND ed.eventDate > Now()) as eventDatesList FROM Events e
This will give you nicely formatted list of all the dates for each event (i havent checked the exact syntax. if it doesn't work, I'll look it up) ----- Original Message ----- From: "Adrian Lynch" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "CF-Talk" <cf-talk@houseoffusion.com> Sent: Wednesday, November 16, 2005 5:02 PM Subject: RE: Query Question >I don't know about efficient, but try > > SELECT TOP 1 eventID.... > > That's if it's SQL Server, the over DBs will have something similar > > Ade > > -----Original Message----- > From: Russ [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: 16 November 2005 21:56 > To: CF-Talk > Subject: Query Question > > > I have 2 tables, for the sake of simplification lets say they look like > this: > > > > EVENT > > eventID > > eventName > > > > > > EVENTDATES > > eventID > > eventDate > > > > Each event would be in the event table once, and possibly multiple times > in > the eventDates table.
