Here's a SQL question a friend asked me recently...I came up with a solution, but I'm not sure it's the ideal one, so let me know what y'all think...

His database has a table of actors in it, a table of movies, and an intermediate table ("casts") containing the keys from both. The tables are roughly like this:

actors: ActorID,LastName,FirstName,etc.

movies: MovieID,Title,etc.

casts: ActorID,MovieID,CharacterLastName,etc.

He wanted to know, how can I select all movies with Robert DeNiro and Joe Pesci in it?

How best to do it?
