I've been trying to figure this out for hours, but it seems so simple--that's why I'm so frustrated. I have three tables (newsarticles, sportsarticles, opinionarticles ) with identical structures in a database and a search query on my website that, at this point, can search through only the "newsarticl es" table. The code for the working search of the "newsarticl es" table is shows below: - SELECT * FROM newsarticles WHERE newsarticles.text LIKE %s OR newsarticles.title LIKE %s OR newsarticles.author LIKE %s
I want to be able to use the search query to return a single recordset of results that includes results from all three tables. Some possible solutions I have found are the "JOIN" and "UNION" SQL commands. I am not sure if either will work, or if either is correct to use in this case. Does anyone have any ideas?

Hi,
I'm guessing that you want to serach the tables that have a certain keyword stored in them, am I right?
In that case you need to look at the "JOIN" or "UNOIN" a bit more.
I think you'll merge your tables by selecting something from every table if they have a matching keyword or criteria.
Hope I wasn't to far off.
Cheers

query on the main table any entry that is for the 2004-01-06 and this date
is also in a field called 'Date' in the other tables, how do I go...

Is a RecordSet just part of a table? Can it be part of a query of view?

If I release a new version of my mbd (in mde format) and users want to

For example, if the original was released as data1.mde and then I release

into the new data2.mde?

I'm not sure there's an easy solution to this, but thought I'd ask. I
often find myself with a query which I'd like to reuse, but with a
different datasource. These datasources generally have identical
field names. The queries select a subset of the fields, so "Select *"
is not really an option.
Is there an easy way to change the source of a query, either in the
design grid or SQL display? I suppose I could copy the SQL into
WordPad...

I've got a database with about 300,000 records. There are several
different tables that are set up the same way with identical fields. I
have the same queries individually set up for each table. Is there a
way to just set the query once and then run it across several tables or
tell the query which table to run it on. Some of the queries are just
select queries, some are append, and some are update. Thanks.

Hi,

Hi. I am trying to select data from two separate MySQL tables, where I
cannot use join, but when I put the two select queries into a single
query, I get an error telling me to check my syntax. Both of the
queries work fine when I use them to query the MySQL server directly.
My guess is that the MySQL extension only expects a single resource
back from the database, but get's several, or that it just checks the
