I prefer leaving SQL to the gurus, but this is a small project, so I have
the joy of writing the entire app.
My problem
I have two tables
TMESSAGE
and
with fields
message_id, message
TSIMILAR_MESSAGE_TO_MESSAGE
with fields
id, message_id
TMESSAGE.message_id relates to both TSIMILAR_MESSAGE_TO_MESSAGE.message_id and TSIMILAR_MESSAGE_TO_MESSAGE.id as a one to many relationship. TSIMILAR_MESSAGE_TO_MESSAGE.message_id and TSIMILAR_MESSAGE_TO_MESSAGE.id together make the primary key for their table.
Now I want to group the similar messages to see which is the largest group
of similar messages.
This is easy:
"SELECT TSIMILAR_MESSAGE_TO_MESSAGE.ID,
This provides a table as follows
message_id CountOfMESSAGE_ID
Count(TSIMILAR_MESSAGE_TO_MESSAGE.MESSAGE_ID) AS CountOfMESSAGE_ID
FROM TSIMILAR_MESSAGE_TO_MESSAGE
GROUP BY TSIMILAR_MESSAGE_TO_MESSAGE.ID
HAVING (((Count(TSIMILAR_MESSAGE_TO_MESSAGE.ID))>1));"
24 7
31 4
36 3
The problem is I also want the message returned in the query
(TMESSAGE.message).
In other words I would like a resultset that looks as follows:
message message_id CountOfMESSAGE_ID I am a message 24 7 I am a message too 31 4 I am a message also 36 3
I'm sure it's fairly simple, but I just can't quite figure it out. Any help would be most welcome. Received on Tue Feb 19 2002 - 03:54:13 CET
