Not the ideal design, change it to this:

Books --- BookAuthors --- Authors
       |
       |- BookCategories --- Categories
       |
       |- BookLanguages --- Languages

All relationships are one to many (one on the left and right, many in the
center). Will make your life much easier.

Subject: come on Forta !


Hi folks,

I'v just ordered Ben Forta's new book. I am woundering
if I will find a way to solve this problem. I have the
following database tables:


                ------- many -- Authors
                |              (Table)
                |
                |
                |
 Books - many --------- many -- Categories
(Table)         |               (Table)
                |
                |
                |
                ------- many -- Languages
                                (Table)


As you can see, Three tables are linked to (Books)
table in many to many relations. I want to output a
list of all books with all (Authors), (Categories) and
(Languages) of each single book.

Could you please help me with the best way doing that.
In another way, Can I do it with a single query?!.

Any CF code will be appreciated.

Regards,
Hamid Hossain
