For example: Name Attribute X S.Black Y S.Blue Z T.White W T.Red can i do something like this? IF Attribute=S.(something) THEN look into Table 1 and return col1 else look into Table2 and return col2. I am using S. and T. as substring to separate the data.I guess then when I will display it , i have to parse it to. Any hint? thanks ) (( |""|-. | :|/' -`--'- -- PHP Database Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, e-mail: php-db-unsubscribe@lists.php.net For additional commands, e-mail: php-db-help@lists.php.net To contact the list administrators, e-mail: php-list-admin@lists.php.net
