I was hoping for some help with this -- I'm not sure if I can use just one SQL statement to pull this data out, I think I need to use two separate statements. Can someone clarify for me?
My tables: +-------------+ +---------------+ | people | | projects | +-------------+ +---------------+ | people_id |-----<| project_id | | people_name | | project_name | +-------------+ | canceler_id | | canceled_date | | finisher_id | | finished_date | +---------------+ In the "projects" table, a project will have a project_id, a project_name, and either a canceler_id and canceled_date or a finisher_id and finished_date. I would like to use a query to get the project name and the people name from the database WHERE projects.project_id = 8 AND projects.canceler_id = people.people_id, or projects.finisher_id = people.people_id, depending on whether the project was finished or canceled. But I also need to be able to determine from the query whether the project was finished or canceled. Thanks! Erik ---- Erik Price Web Developer Temp Media Lab, H.H.
