Sorry about the non-descriptive subject, but I'm tired and really couldn't
think of a way to describe my question in one line <g>.

I have a database table of product information and a database table of
product category information.  Each product may exist in more than one
category, so I created a "mappings" table that simply contains
ItemID-CategoryID pairs.  This is all well and good.

I am trying to write a product details query that includes a comma delimited
list of the CategoryIDs that the product belongs to.  Currently I run two
queries: one for the data from the product table and another for the
CategoryIDs from the mappings table.  Then I create a list of the Category
IDs and manually add the list to the query of other product data.

Is there a way to get SQL to do this for me in one query?  As far as I know
subqueries are only useful when they return a single value, which won't
quite work here.  Any ideas?

Thanks in advance,
