Subject: [cfaussie] Simplified recordset.


excuse me while i think out in open space, But if any one has any ideas,
please throw them back at me.

The table is structured in a fairly complex way. and it has to be this way.
It relates to 2 other tables for different reasons.

So the complex table that i need to simplify on output is something like..

id      clientID        fieldValue         value
1       1                 1                     firstName1
2       1                 2                     middleName1
3       1                 3                     lastName1
4       2                 1                     firstName2
5       2                 2                     middleName2
6       2                 3                     lastName2
7       3                 1                     firstName3

and so on...
there are other values stored in that table, but i don't need them for this.

What i want to get out of it is something like.

clientID        1                  2                       3
1                 firstName1    middleName1     lastName1
2                 firstName2    middleName2     lastName2
3                 firstName3    middleName3     lastName3

I guess what i am really trying to figure out is if i can do this against
the database, or if i have to recreate the table on the cf.

There is another step which i left out, that the column names (1,2,3...)
actually get their values from another table. But that opens up so many
more problems...

baby steps.

TIA
Ricardo.
