SQL query help

I currently have the following structure:

table: lodges
LodgeID (PK)
Lodge
LodgeDetails
etc

table: nominations
NominationID (PK)
Nomination
Category
Year
LodgeID
etc

table: scores
ScoreID (PK)
Score
ScoreYear
LodgeID
etc

table: trade_users
UserID (PK)
LodgeID
User
etc

And I have a page which lists any lodges which have either a 2015 Nomination or a 2015 Score (i.e. nominations.Year = 2015 OR scores.Year = 2015) for the currently logged in user using the following SQL:

SELECT DISTINCT lodges.LodgeID, Lodge, banner_image_new, Country, banner_image_new_title, photo_one, photo_one_title, Summary_2013, 2014_Nominee, GSG2014, Year, ScoreYear, Nominee, Finalist, HighlyCommended, RunnerUp, Winner, Category, 2015_Paid, 2015_Awards_Participant FROM lodges LEFT JOIN nominations ON lodges.LodgeID = nominations.LodgeID LEFT JOIN scores ON lodges.LodgeID = scores.LodgeID WHERE lodges.UserID = %s AND (Year = 2015 OR ScoreYear = 2015) ORDER BY Lodge ASC

Which works, but lists results:

Lodge A - Category 1
Lodge A Details

Lodge A - Category 2
Lodge A Details

Lodge A - Category 3
Lodge A Details

Lodge B - Category 1
Lodge B Details

etc

How could I change that to list the results in this way:

Lodge A
Category1, Category2, Category3
Lodge A Details

Lodge B
Category 2, Category 5
Lodge B Details

etc

instead of using a joined query for this, i would use a nested recordset to return the categories:

Thanks Jason - sorry if I'm going blind, but I don't see the Preset Manager it mentions right at the start:

In Dreamweaver, click WebAssist > Preset Manager.

I assume I can try to follow along from the step where record sets are added, where menu_categories are the equivalent of lodges, and menu_items are the equivalent of nominations or scores.

the preset manager should near the end of the list if you have data bridge installed.


"I assume I can try to follow along from the step where record sets are added, where menu_categories are the equivalent of lodges, and menu_items are the equivalent of nominations or scores."

yes, that is correct.

Thanks Jason - I have managed to get this all working now. I did go wrong, but fixed it when I had the run time value of LodgeID in the nominations recordset set to:

$row_WADAlodges['LodgeID'] rather than $_GET['LodgeID']

I thought it was about to get complicated by the either or of the nominations and scores, but realised I just needed to keep the joins in the original Lodges query to filter the correct lodges, and the nominations query to list the nomination categories.

glad to hear you have it working.
