totally forgot, to get a really good query especially when you use Innodb it doesnt like null values on foreign keys, i'd setup a row in the actors and actresses table like No Actor or No actress and then use that key for the null values and use INNER JOIN, check EXPLAIN aswell , it'll show what indexes are being used. -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe: http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
