display aditional sql data
Hi,
i'm using tbb + plugin by page to display the result of a sql query.
Is it possible - for each record - to display aditional sql data coming from another table?
For example, if i merge a query to display a list of bills, can i display, for each bill, the name of the the customer coming from another table?
The id of the customer is in the bill table, but it's not a foreign key.
Thanks in advance for your answers.

Re: display aditional sql data
Look in TBS site "Examples" for the "Sub-block" example -- the answer is there for you.
Make a separate array/query from the customer name table and use it as the sub-block.
It is important to merge the main block first, and sub-blocks after it. So...depending on your desired final HTML output - you may just reverse which query is the main / sub query -- it doesn't really matter since youre doing a one-to-one match of bill-to-customer.
Hope that helps get you going,
TomH
