4.1.x happily supports almost all forms of subqueries. That's the DB I use almost exclusively. There are a few limitations (like you can't update a table you've done a subquery on in the same query, and you can't use LIMIT on a subquery), but they're basically full featured.
And even if you're not on a platform that supports subqueries, that SELECT I wrote can easily be converted into two sequential queries. Not as fast, to be sure, but certainly faster than a N-depth recursive search in most cases. cheers, barneyb On 2/1/06, Andy Matthews <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Sadly we use mySQL v4.x which doesn't support subselects. > > <!----------------//------ > andy matthews -- Barney Boisvert [EMAIL PROTECTED] 360.319.6145 http://www.barneyb.com/ Got Gmail?
