I'll let the experts "enjoin" the fight about

 the coding...but, I'm curious as to
what type of application your coding for...a calendar and recurring events,
or
something else?

I always put my event dates in the same table as the event ID,
event name, etc....I was just wondering if I'm missing something...
perhaps a coding practice I could employ...

Subject: How to get these query results - Take 2

I'm gonna try this again as while I slept last night my previous post
turned into a discussion of SQL best practices and did not give the
answer needed. But that's probably because I didn't explain well
enough. Ordering by EventID will not work. Nor will ordering by date.
Maybe a little more data will help.

EventID, EventName
1 | TestEventOne
2 | TestEventTwo
3 | AThirdEvent

EventID | EventDates
1 | 9/10/2006
1 | 9/20/2006
2 | 9/15/2006
3 | 9/30/2006

<!--- Desired results --->
AThirdEvent
  9/30/2006

TestEventOne
  9/20/2006
  9/10/2006

TestEventTwo
 9/15/2006

If you order by EventID, you would get 1, 2, 3. If you ordered by Date
DESC, you would get
3
1
2
1
But I want the TestEventOne outputs to be together. GroupBy won't do
it because you've ordered by date.

This probably isn't possible without at least two queries, or at least
some QofQ usage. I just can't seem to get my head around the solution
though.
