Now's here's a new problem I haven't encountered.
How do I use a url variable to link to a property details page
when the properties are in 8 different tables? The issue really isn't
the variable, since I can use the aliased variable "property_id" (once I add it
to the query).
I know I could use
property_details.cfm?property_id=<cfoutput>#get_properties.property_id#</cfoutput>,
however, on the details page, I would need to search all eight property tables
for the correct property id.
Is this the method I'm stuck with because all the properties aren't in a single
table?
Pass the aliased variable "property_id" and search all 8 tables for it?
Perhaps I should just put them all into one big property table instead of
keeping them
separate as the data vender has them...
Thoughts?
Thanks,
Rick
Here's the current state of my "union all" query with all the property tables
finally in play:
