Mike, I know quite a bit about joins and I'm not sure if they are the answer. Basically I want to save myself two SQL statements.
I'd like to combine: select * from table1 where cond=val select * from table2 where cond=sameval into one sql statement. the two tables are identical in structure thats why i think there should be some way to do this.
