So - you want something like: The user runs a query ("all blue things") and that gives a list of results. They can then filter those results further ("shape=round") and you want to highlight those elements that match. You either can't or don't want to filter in the application, rather you would like to run this as two queries but need to match up results from the second query with the first query (your list). Suggestion: For the first query, make sure you have the relevant primary key columns in your query and do: CREATE TEMPORARY TABLE my_results AS SELECT ... Then, you can join against that table in the second query. The temporary table will exist until you disconnect - see CREATE TABLE for details. -- Richard Huxton Archonet Ltd ____________________________________________________________________________________Ready for the edge of your seat?
