Sorry about my last email which was long and not clear.
This is what I want to do
Join two tables on "code table1" = "code table3" where messageid = for
example 28
table 1 contains :
message from messageid
------------------------------------------
message1 | code1 | 28
message2 | code1 | 28
message3 | code1 | 28
message4 | code1 | 29
table 2 contains
name | code | num
--------------------------------------
name1 | code2 | 1
name2 | code1 | 2
name3 | code1 | 3
If I do :
SELECT a.message,,b.name FROM table1 a JOIN table2 b ON a.code=b.code
WHERE a.id='28'
I get :
message | name
---------------------------
message1 | name2
message2 | name2
message3 | name2
message1 | name3
message2 | name3
message3 | name3
But all I want to get is :
message | name
---------------------------
message1 | name3
message2 | name3
message3 | name3
If I do :
SELECT * FROM table2 WHERE code = 'code1' ORDER BY num DESC LIMIT 1
I get :
name | code | num
--------------------------------------
name3 | code1 | 3
I now need to somehow combine the two to get :
message | name
---------------------------
message1 | name3
message2 | name3
message3 | name3
Of course I have simplified everything down to the minimum :)
Thanks in advance,
Richard
