Orig question Here are my tables specified as... tbl_nm | col1, col2... std_nms | id, nm raw_nms | id, nm nm_pairs | id, std_nms_id, raw_nms_id
I'm wondering how to supply a single std_nms.nm and get back a list of pairs i.e. std_nm.nm, raw_nms.nm.... that reflect each record in nm_pairs with a std_nms_id = std_nms.id (of the record containing the supplied single std_nms.nm). Thank you in anticipation. and here's what I came up with... select std_nms.nm, raw_nms.nm from std_nms,raw_nms inner join nm_pairs on std_nms.id = nm_pairs.std_nms_id and raw_nms.id = nm_pairs.raw_nms_id
