I have 3 tables: lesson, lesson_preq, and preqs...basically each lesson has many prerequisites (lesson_preq composed of lesson id and prereq id) and the prerequisites are stored in preqs (prereq id and prereq name). Now I want to list all the lessons and have the name appear for each prerequisite...the query below gives me what I want, but each lesson is repeated for each prerequisite...I would like to list the lesson only once and have all prerequisites appear (in name) for that lesson...since we do not have subselects...this is kind of confusing...any ideas? SELECT lesson.l_id, lesson.title, preqs.prereq FROM lesson, lesson_preq, preqs WHERE lesson_preq.preq_id=preqs.preq_id AND lesson_preq.l_id=lesson.l_id Thanks Luis __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
