Hi, This is my first post here so forgive me if its too simple or not right.
basically what i do is: SELECT COUNT(*) FROM table1 where cno=3; (and dumping it into a variable $theResult - I am using PHP) and it gives me the result, but now i need to do this in 5 tables... I can of course run 5 count statements but was wondering if I can do the whole thing in one statement? A friend of mine told me to try "union" but when i go to the documentation of union I cant understand much and it says "UNION is implemented in MySQL 4.0.0" I have no idea what version i have. The 5 tables are pretty much the same and have the same "cno" field that i need and are named table1,table2,table3,table4,table5 Can anybody help me please? Thanks in advance. cheers, -Ryan We will slaughter you all! - The Iraqi (Dis)information ministers site http://MrSahaf.com -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe: http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
