I have a table (notes_to_the_record) of meeting notes (fields:n_r_id,id,meeting_name,date_added,follow_up). A new feature is that the meeting note is shared to a set of users. So since multiple users can be selected, I made a new table called notes_to_the_record_shared (n_r_shared_id,n_r_id,id). In both those, id references a People table, so it's the person's ID
Here are the two tables: http://hhp.umd.edu/home/db_display.cfm (table of notes) http://hhp.umd.edu/home/db_display_shared.cfm (shared table) When I do the search, I make sure that the person can only see their own notes, so ID = #session.user.id#. Now with the notes ability to be shared, I'm not sure how to expand the search to be "any notes with my id in this table and any notes with my id in this second table" and join correctly to have all the information. I have it set up so that there is a record (n_r_id = 441) that is shared to a person with id 3 I was told in a DB forum "Use outer join. table1.id = table2.id(+)". So I'm doing that and it doesn't seem to be working. Here's the SQL: SELECT n.meeting_name,n.type,n.note_date,n.notes,n.type_describe FROM notes_to_the_record n,notes_to_the_record_shared s WHERE n.ID = #session.user.id# AND n.id = s.id(+) ORDER BY UPPER(n.meeting_name) ASC Please help - I'm really at a stand-still here. -- Daniel Kessler College of Health and Human Performance University of Maryland Suite 2387 Valley Drive College Park, MD 20742-2611 Phone: 301-405-2545 http://hhp.umd.edu ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Upgrade to Adobe ColdFusion MX7 Experience Flex 2 & MX7 integration & create powerful cross-platform RIAs http:http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;56760587;14748456;a?http://www.adobe.com/products/coldfusion/flex2/?sdid=LVNU Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/message.cfm/messageid:267273 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.4
