Re: [ic] Searching tables

["Kevin Flynn" <kflynn@celticlinks.com>]

I am trying to translate the sql statement below into a search region where
it pulls from 2 tables.

        SELECT * FROM transactions, orderline WHERE description =
"given_keyword" AND
        transaction.order_number = orderline.order_number;

I want to search through the orders to see who bought a particular product
(i.e. Hand Planer) and pull back all relevant information for that order
(i.e. Order number, username, address, etc...). The product Description is
in the orderline table whereas all customer details are in the transactions
table.

I'd appreciate some help with this as I have been banging my head against a
wall for ages trying to figure it out!
