hi there,

have a query with building an SQL query...

SELECT DISTINCT(e.id),cs2.company_id as companyid, count(es2.skill) as
skillswanted FROM employees_personal e INNER JOIN employees_skills es2
on es2.employee_id = e.id INNER JOIN company_skill cs2 on cs2.skill =
es2.skill WHERE cs2.company_id = '117' AND 1 GROUP BY companyid order
by skillswanted DESC, e.first_name,e.last_name

Basically...

Employees_personal have skills in the employees_skills table,
Companies have skills they require in company_skill table

i want to find all employees who have skills that match skills in the
company skill table, and then order by the number of matches desc to
find most suitable employee.



... currently the query is not giving any errors, but it only returns
one employee, when I know there should be alot more results...

also...ideally would like to create a HAVING clause on the number of
skillswanted...so can say only display employees who match at least 2
skills.

thanks..for any help would be appreciated...
