Hello folks, can anybody share there expertise in SQL syntax to help me with the following ..
$SQL = " SELECT * FROM quotes,details WHERE details.id = quotes.relID AND relID='$sess_id' AND ($sess_initial_status) AND quotes.notes LIKE '%$sess_quotes_search%' ORDER BY '$sess_quotes_search_by' $inclination, quote_id DESC "; the following sql represents a join of two tables using keys the quotes table contains a field status of type enum with the following options .. active,dead,live,prequote and won $sess_quotes_search_by is a particular field in table details what i would like to acheive is BEFORE doing the ORDER BY i would like to sort the records into two blocks based on whether the field status is DEAD . The records containing DEAD will occur in the bottom block. Then further ordering will occur in these blocks.Can this be acheived using 1 SQL query ?
