Hello folks,
can anybody share there expertise in SQL syntax to help me with the
following ..
$SQL = " SELECT * FROM quotes,details
WHERE details.id = quotes.relID
AND relID='$sess_id'
AND ($sess_initial_status)
AND quotes.notes LIKE '%$sess_quotes_search%'
ORDER BY '$sess_quotes_search_by'
$inclination, quote_id DESC ";
the following sql represents a join of two tables using keys
the quotes table contains a field status of type enum with the following
options .. active,dead,live,prequote and won
$sess_quotes_search_by is a particular field in table details
what i would like to acheive is BEFORE doing the ORDER BY
i would like to sort the records into two blocks based on whether the field
status is DEAD . The records containing DEAD will occur in the bottom block.
Then further ordering will occur in these blocks.Can this be acheived using
1 SQL query ?
Many thanks
Paul
