SELECT dummy.page_number,stories.story_name,stories.story_status FROM dummy,stories WHERE dummy.page_number = stories.page_number UNION SELECT dummy.page_number,dummy.ad_num,adtrack.ad_status FROM adtrack,dummy WHERE adtrack.ad_num = dummy.ad_num order by 1 ASC" -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe: http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
