    <p>I'm having trouble with the following query:</p> <pre><code>SELECT costingjobtimes.TimeStamp, costingdepartment.DeptDesc, costingemployee.Name, costingjobtimes.TimeElapsed FROM costingemployee INNER JOIN (costingdepartment INNER JOIN costingjobtimes ON costingdepartment.DeptID = costingjobtimes.DeptID) ON costingemployee.EmployeeID = costingjobtimes.EmployeeID; </code></pre> <p>I would expect it to return every row in the costingjobtimes database however it's only returning 4 at current.</p> <p>Basically, I have 3 tables. (costingjobtimes, costingdepartment, costingemployee) They are as follows:</p> <pre><code>mysql&gt; DESCRIBE costingemployee -&gt; ; +------------+------------+------+-----+---------+-------+ | Field | Type | Null | Key | Default | Extra | +------------+------------+------+-----+---------+-------+ | EmployeeID | varchar(8) | | PRI | | | | Name | text | | | | | +------------+------------+------+-----+---------+-------+ 2 rows in set (0.00 sec) mysql&gt; DESCRIBE costingdepartment -&gt; ; +----------+------------------+------+-----+---------+-------+ | Field | Type | Null | Key | Default | Extra | +----------+------------------+------+-----+---------+-------+ | DeptID | int(10) unsigned | | PRI | 0 | | | DeptDesc | text | | | | | +----------+------------------+------+-----+---------+-------+ 2 rows in set (0.00 sec) mysql&gt; DESCRIBE costingjobtimes -&gt; ; +-------------+------------------+------+-----+---------------------+----------- -----+ | Field | Type | Null | Key | Default | Extra | +-------------+------------------+------+-----+---------------------+----------- -----+ | id | int(10) unsigned | | PRI | NULL | auto_incre ment | | EmployeeID | text | | | | | | DeptID | int(10) unsigned | | | 0 | | | JobNumber | text | | | | | | TimeElapsed | decimal(10,5) | | | 0.00000 | | | TimeStamp | datetime | | | 0000-00-00 00:00:00 | | | JobRef | text | | | | | +-------------+------------------+------+-----+---------------------+----------- -----+ 7 rows in set (0.00 sec) </code></pre> <p>So all the query is supposed to do is return all the rows from costingjobtimes, but put in the employees name instead of EmployeeID and Department description instead of the DeptID. Any help would be great..</p> <p>Thanks in advance,</p>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
