Thanks Christopher,
but wouldn't this return a separate row for each actor? I'm pretty sure i
need something more than a simple join :o(
Here's my original question again: "what i need to do is return a particular
video and all it's staring actors with just one query returning just one
row, ie. with all the actor names in one field"
