A VIEW is a database object that embodies the result of an SQL query. It looks much like a table but does a query behind the scenes to get the data. It's (fortunately) fairly basic SQL stuff. Have a look at your database documentation for what is. Or google view mysql. Hint: CREATE VIEW In this case, you're using it to create a "table" that Sogo wants to see with the columns it wants to see by getting its data from your existing tables. Have a look at the sogo documentation to see what columns Sogo expects to see as well as the name of the view (which is the table name Sogo expects). -- Regards, jb -- users@sogo.nu https://inverse.ca/sogo/lists
