Hello.
A piece software I am considering deploying requires a server that
is JSP/Java enabled.
Can standard Apache 2.2.9 support this, be made to support this, or is a
different incarnation of Apache required?

I have a table that I select from as follows
SELECT x,y,z FROM table WHERE id='$id'
I want to break this into 2 tables where 'id' is the 'primary' field and is
identical on both tables.
How can I SELECT the same x,y,z now from the 2 tables using 1 SQL statement?
Thank you to the people who posted solutions to the last question. :-)
To expand on this, is it possible with MySQL to do the following-
I have two tables, both with 'productid' as the primary field.
I need retrieve a few fields from table 1, but I only need to know if a line
exists and has a
it in to the result set?
I am wondering if this will give optimised performance.

With MySQL is it possible to check if a row exists (that matches a certain

Uh, what's the question (I didn't read the other posts).
If you want to know how to get the product id for the second query, it
will just be the value of the result array with the key
'productid' (assuming you got an associative array from the first
query).
ie, SELECT count(*) FROM
to be complaining.
I have made no changes to my.cnf whatsoever. It worked with 5.0.67, and now it
(DBD::MySQL) doesn't work with 5.1.30.
