Hi folks!
I'm kind of ashamed to ask a question, as I haven't followed this list very
much lately.

This isn't exactly a PHP question, but since mysql is the most popular
database engine used with php, I figured someone here might have an idea.
I have 2 tables. Table A containing 2 fields. A user ID and a picture ID =>
A(uid,pid) and another table B, containing 3 fields. The picture ID, an
attribute ID and a value for that attribute => B(pid,aid,value).
Table B contains several rows for a single PID with various AIDs and values.
Each AID is unique to a PID. (e.g. AID = 1 always holding the value for the
image size and AID = 3 always holding a value for the image type)
The goal is now to join table A on table B using pid, and selecting the rows
based on MULTIPLE attributes.
So the result should only contain rows for images, that relate to an
attribute ID = 1 (size) that is bigger than 100 AND!!!!!!! an attribute ID =
5 that equals 'jpg'.
I know that there is an easy solution to this, doing it in one query and I
have the feeling, that I can almost touch it with my fingertips in my mind,
but I can't go that final step, if you know what I mean. AND THAT DRIVES ME
CRAZY!!!!!!
I appreciate your thoughts on this.
Regards,
Jan
