SELECT * FROM shop.dvds LEFT JOIN oldtables.movies ON mov_id = dvd_mov_id LEFT JOIN shop.data_soundmedia ON sm_info_ean = dvd_ean WHERE (lower(mov_name) LIKE '%superman re%' OR lower(dvd_name) like '%superman re%' OR lower(dvd_edition) LIKE '%superman re%')Um, what's the datatype of sm_info_ean and dvd_ean exactly?
varchar(15) and varchar(14)i can make them same width if that could help - just saw the same field on the other tables are limited to 14...
