I've got a multi-table query, (pulling from both an orders and an orders_products (line items) file), and I'd like to group the output to help reduce multiple appearances of of the product skus. The query: select orders.orders_id,orders.date_purchased,orders.customers_name,orders_products.products_name,orders_products.products_model,orders_products.products_quantity, orders_products.products_price from orders,orders_products where orders.date_purchased='2003-01-01' and orders.orders_id=orders_products.orders_id order by orders_products.products_model You get output like Order Num Order Date Product Code Product Name --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1 2003-01-01 12345 product xyz 2 2003-01-01 12345 product xyz 3 2003-01-01 abcde product abc 1 2003-01-01 abcde product abc 5 2003-01-01 12345 product xyz If I wanted to have the output grouped on any of the fields, how would I go about doing it? TIA Kelly
