Hi, Dont know if my last post got to the list, but since then my problem got a bit more complicated. I know how to solve it using two or more queries, but was wondering if it would be possible using only one:
tableA id_tA numof descr 1 0809 john 2 0808 peter table_out id_tOut id_tA ref 1 2 samantha table_In id_tIn numof ref 1 0809 something And the result i need is: Table_result id_tA numof ref 1 0809 something 2 0808 samantha In a nutshell, i need a query intelligent enough to make a query to table_Out, see if theres a match for 'id_tA', if there is one, retrieve field "ref", otherwise go look in table_In and retrieve "ref" from there. Is it too complicated (impossible?) to use only one query? Should i just do it the old style, two queries and a php condition between them? Thanks, guys.
