Hi,
So long as there is some way of joining your two tables, this shouldn't be a
problem:
SELECT name FROM mytable, myothertable WHERE (mytable.ID =
myothertable.idlistcolumn);
Regards
Quentin

Subject: Complex Query Problems
I've got a complex query... I was wondering if someone could give me some
advice..
Is there any way that I can base the WHERE clause of a query on the contents
of another table?? for instance...
SELECT name FROM mytable WHERE(ID=myothertable.idlistcolumn);
where myothertable is a HEAP constructed just prior to the above query?
If so, is this a reasonable method? If not, Any suggestions?
John
