[sukanya.paul]

hi i am facing a big problem with a mysql query

i have 3 tables
feat_proj
pId,domain,projName,scope are the fields in this table

value:

1 dom proj_name xxxxx

feat_mod
mId,pId,modName
1 1 mod1
2 1 mod2

feat_sec
sId,mId,PId,secName
1 1 1 sec1
2 1 1 sec2
3 2 1 sec3
4 2 1 sec4

i want a query which will display
proj_name
mod1
sec1
sec2
mod2
sec3
sec4

in a table. Any idea how to achieve this?

thanks for the help,
Suk

use a join query.

SELECT p.projName AS proj_name, m.mId AS mod, s.sId AS sec FROM feat_proj AS p LEFT JOIN feat_mod AS m ON m.pId=p.pId LEFT JOIN feat_sec AS s ON s.mId=m.mId GROUP BY p ASC ORDER BY mod ASC;

The results of the query would be something like

proj_name mod sec
project 1 1
project 1 2
project 2 3
project 2 4

provided that the details above. If you had multiple projects, it might return something similar to

proj_name mod sec
project 1 1
project 1 2
project 2 3
project 2 4
project2 3 5
project2 3 6
project2 4 7
project2 4 8
