I'm looking for a good way to do the following: I have two tables, one named teams and one named divisions. Divisions relates divisionID to the name of the division (division_name). In teams I have the divisionID stored along with the team_name. [BG info: teams can be relegated or promoted so it's easier for me to store the divID in the teams table] I'd like to populate a drop down menu with the team_name and division_name and was wondering if I can do some kind of select statement that will get all the info at once with the following details on the two tables: mysql> select * from teams; +--------+-----------+---------+------------+------+------------+-----+------+-----+-----------+---------------+ | teamID | team_name | coachID | divisionID | paid | pmnt_notes | win | loss | tie | goals_for | goals_against | +--------+-----------+---------+------------+------+------------+-----+------+-----+-----------+---------------+ | 1 | Metro | 0 | 1 | n | NULL | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | +--------+-----------+---------+------------+------+------------+-----+------+-----+-----------+---------------+ 1 row in set (0.00 sec) mysql> select * from divisions; +------------+------------------+ | divisionID | division_name | +------------+------------------+ | 1 | Premier | | 2 | Classic | | 3 | Recreational 7v7 | +------------+------------------+ 3 rows in set (0.00 sec) Thanks in advance!
