Well, I had tried this : SELECT DISTINCT id_script FROM readme WHERE id_language = $languageorignin; But then I have to do this with the selection : SELECT DISTINCT id_script FROM readme WHERE id_language != $languagetarget; but it cannot work since I get back the id_script from the first selection !
See a sample of the table :
id_readme, id_script, id-language 1, 2, 4 2, 3, 1 3, 3, 4 4, 4, 4
All the scripts are in english, but one has been already translated into French.
I want to say to the translator that works from english to french,
1) you have script 2 and 4 to translate
2) you can rewrite the translation of script 3 (this second question I have manage with creating a temporary table).
I don't think the newest version of mysql will be on the server.
Thank you Christine
try this
SELECT DISTINCT id-script FROM YOURTABLE where id_language = 'SELECTED LANGUAGE' ;
no ?

Hi,
I have a Mysql table of texts in different languages : id_readme id_script (the object that the text describes) id_language (the language the text is written in) etc.
So two texts may have the same id_script but with different id_language.
I need to retrieve the list (without duplicate) of id-script that are described in one language and NOT in another.
Is there hope ? Any help would be welcome.
Chris
Maybe give us a sample of the SQL you wish to use? You can probably get it done without a sub-select.
That being said, the newest versions of MySQL support sub-selects, but you'd have to use an unstable version.
