Now's here's a new problem I haven't encountered. How do I use a url variable to link to a property details page when the properties are in 8 different tables? The issue really isn't the variable, since I can use the aliased variable "property_id" (once I add it to the query).
I know I could use property_details.cfm?property_id=<cfoutput>#get_properties.property_id#</cfoutput>, however, on the details page, I would need to search all eight property tables for the correct property id. Is this the method I'm stuck with because all the properties aren't in a single table? Pass the aliased variable "property_id" and search all 8 tables for it? Perhaps I should just put them all into one big property table instead of keeping them separate as the data vender has them... Thoughts? Thanks, Rick Here's the current state of my "union all" query with all the property tables finally in play: <cfquery name="get_properties" datasource="#dsn#"> select sa.street_number as prop_street_number, sa.street_name as prop_street_name, sa.city as prop_city, sa.public_remarks_01 as prop_public_remarks_01, sa.public_remarks_02 as prop_public_remarks_02, sa.list_price as prop_list_price, (select sap.photo_filename from smlc_acr_photos sap where sap.photo_mls_number = sa.mls_number limit 1) as prop_photo_filename, (select so.office_name from smlc_off so where so.office_code = sa.listing_office) as prop_listing_office from smlc_acr sa union all select sc.street_number as prop_street_number, sc.street_name as prop_street_name, sc.city as prop_city, sc.public_remarks_01 as prop_public_remarks_01, sc.public_remarks_02 as prop_public_remarks_02, sc.list_price as prop_list_price, (select scp.photo_filename from smlc_com_photos scp where scp.photo_mls_number = sc.mls_number limit 1) as prop_photo_filename, (select so.office_name from smlc_off so where so.office_code = sc.listing_office) as prop_listing_office from smlc_com sc union all select sl.street_number as prop_street_number, sl.street_name as prop_street_name, sl.city as prop_city, sl.public_remarks_01 as prop_public_remarks_01, sl.public_remarks_02 as prop_public_remarks_02, sl.list_price as prop_list_price, (select slp.photo_filename from smlc_lot_photos slp where slp.photo_mls_number = sl.mls_number limit 1) as prop_photo_filename, (select so.office_name from smlc_off so where so.office_code = sl.listing_office) as prop_listing_office from smlc_lots sl union all select sr.street_number as prop_street_number, sr.street_name as prop_street_name, sr.city as prop_city, sr.public_remarks_01 as prop_public_remarks_01, sr.public_remarks_02 as prop_public_remarks_02, sr.list_price as prop_list_price, (select srp.photo_filename from smlc_ren_photos srp where srp.photo_mls_number = sr.mls_number limit 1) as prop_photo_filename, (select so.office_name from smlc_off so where so.office_code = sr.listing_office) as prop_listing_office from smlc_ren sr union all select sres.street_number as prop_street_number, sres.street_name as prop_street_name, sres.city as prop_city, sres.public_remarks_01 as prop_public_remarks_01, sres.public_remarks_02 as prop_public_remarks_02, sres.list_price as prop_list_price, (select sresp.photo_filename from smlc_res_photos sresp where sresp.photo_mls_number = sres.mls_number limit 1) as prop_photo_filename, (select so.office_name from smlc_off so where so.office_code = sres.listing_office) as prop_listing_office from smlc_res sres union all select smul.street_number as prop_street_number, smul.street_name as prop_street_name, smul.city as prop_city, smul.public_remarks_01 as prop_public_remarks_01, smul.public_remarks_02 as prop_public_remarks_02, smul.list_price as prop_list_price, (select smulp.photo_filename from smlc_mul_photos smulp where smulp.photo_mls_number = smul.mls_number limit 1) as prop_photo_filename, (select so.office_name from smlc_off so where so.office_code = smul.listing_office) as prop_listing_office from smlc_mul smul </cfquery> ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Adobe® ColdFusion® 8 software 8 is the most important and dramatic release to date Get the Free Trial http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;192386516;25150098;k Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/message.cfm/messageid:304124 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4
