Just do a "SELECT DISTINCT..." -----Original Message----- From: Stuart Kidd [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, December 06, 2004 4:16 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: Re: Joins
Hi, I'm getting an error with both your reply and Michaels so I don't know if it's something I explained incorrectly. I'm getting this error: http://www.020.com/webs/020/content.cfm?writers [Macromedia][SQLServer JDBC Driver][SQLServer]Invalid column name 'articleAuthenticated'. I do however have that column name. It is in the tbl_020articleDetails table. >> <!-- Get author information --> >> <cfquery name="GetAuthors" datasource="user020"> >> SELECT tbl_020authorDetails.authorID, tbl_020articleDetails.authorID, >> authorFirstName, authorSurname, articleAuthenticated >> FROM tbl_020authorDetails, tbl_020articleDetails >> WHERE tbl_020authorDetails.authorID = tbl_020articleDetails.authorID and >> tbl_020articleDetails.articleAuthenticated = 1 >> </cfquery> Thanks, Saturday On 6/12/04 11:04 pm, "Adrocknaphobia" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Well there are a million ways to SQL a cat.
