Hi
I have two tables; tbl_Headers and tbl_SubItems.
tbl_Headers contain my Header Items such as (fields: ID & HEADER)
ID HEADER ------------------- 1.00 TOPIC ONE 2.00 TOPIC TWO 3.00 TOPIC THREE
tbl_SubItems contain Sub Header Items such as (fields: ID & SUBITEM)
ID SUBITEM ------------------- 1.01 SubItem 1 1.02 SubItem 2 1.03 SubItem 3 2.01 SubItem 1 2.02 SubItem 2 3.01 SubItem 1 3.02 SubItem 2
etc and so on ...
I want to output a list like so:
1.00 TOPIC ONE 1.01 SubItem 1 1.02 SubItem 2 1.03 SubItem 3 2.00 TOPIC TWO 2.01 SubItem 1 2.02 SubItem 2 3.00 TOPIC THREE 3.01 SubItem 1 3.02 SubItem 2
etc and so on ...
I'm brain-cramping on this, can someone please help ?
If you use version 4.x of mysql you could use a UNION:
(SELECT * FROM tbl_Headers) UNION (SELECT * FROM tbl_SubItems) ORDER BY ID;
<URL: http://dev.mysql.com/doc/mysql/en/UNION.html >
If you use mysql version 3.x: It would be easy if all items was in the same table, then you could just order by ID... A temporary table can help, try something like this:
CREATE TEMPORARY TABLE tmp1 SELECT ID,HEADER as ITEM FROM tbl_Headers; INSERT INTO tmp1 SELECT ID, SUBITEM as ITEM FROM tbl_SubItems; SELECT * FROM tmp1 ORDER BY ID;
