yeah, most would say to build a table that links the two together....searching in a long text field would be kinda kludgy when you could build a join table, that had a key that related to the other table, then that would be better db design ;)

Yes. I started thinking of IN statements for some reason...and Sub select statements. *looks baffled* But for some reason I didn't remember using like in the past. I seem to remember someone telling me it was bad form to use checkboxes to build a list of values in a field that way...but I can't remember why. Good grief. Time to stop coding and go sleep!!! ^_^ -Angel -----Original Message----- From: Tony Weeg [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] select * from blah where blah like '%dancing%' :) tw -----Original Message----- From: Angel Stewart [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Hey all, Say for example I have a table: Firstname Lastname Address Talents. Talents for one record is: acting,dancing,singing. For another record it is : dancing,singing,music I want to construct a query to find all those with dancing as a talent. How would I do that using SQL...*can* I do that using SQL? -Angel ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm?link=t:4 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm?link=s:4 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4 Your ad could be here.
