Hello.
I'm unable to give you suggestions, because I don't see the whole picture of your data structure. Please, next time forward your messages to the list. Chances to receive a good advice are greater. Send good model of your databases (use 'SHOW CREATE TABLE' to represent your tables). Describe relations and what you want to get from your queries in human language, and probably somebody will point you to right direction. M.E.
