Hi, I'm following the example here :-
http://forums.mysql.com/read.php?52,138724,138727#msg-138727 I've been designing a SELECT query on two tables.. -It seems to be working... But i want to confirm its correct before I do any UPDATE commands $query = " SELECT q.question_id, q.question_text, q.is_approved, q.language FROM questions AS q LEFT JOIN questions_categories AS qc ON qc.question_id = q.question_id WHERE qc.question_id IS NULL"; Basically, Ive got 2 tables... q = Question ID, Text/title of question, approved (online) or not, and language... qc = a question ID, and a category... my query produces 2 results (out of 2 records) Basically, I want to check the category database, & find all questions IN the questions table, but not in the category table... & if so - set / add a new record in the categories database for the question, & category '1' Does my query look OK?? PS - I do NOT have phpmysqladmin access (or whatever it is called)... - So I cant check the tables directly etc...& confirm visually... -- G NZ community groups - [EMAIL PROTECTED] Freecycle Auckland :- http://groups.yahoo.com/group/AucklandFreecycle/
