Hi!

Id would like to have 4 tables

files (
id int(8),
type set("directory", "file", "link"),
)

files_directory (
id int(8),
is_files int(8),
name varchar(20)
...
)

files_file (
id int(8),
is_files int(8),
name varchar(20)
...
)

files_link (
id int(8),
is_files int(8),
name varchar(20)
...
)

And be able to make one query to get the info from, for example the 
"files_directory"-table just having an id for the "files"-table, such as:

select files.type as #type, files_#type.* from files, files_#type where 
files.id =$id and files_$type.is_files=$id

$id is a value from php-script
#type is a for me imaginary value that I would like mysql to generate and 
being able to use.

is this possible, or should I rename the values in the "files.type"-set to 
"files_directory, files_file, "files_link"? or wouldn't this help either?

regards, tomas
