If you're using a DBMS which supports INTERSECT (not MySQL), and assuming the two tables have the same column names and types, you can do this: (SELECT * FROM table1) INTERSECT (SELECT * FROM table2) For MySQL INTERSECT support, monitor this doc: http://www.mysql.com/doc/en/TODO_sometime.html --Dave -- PHP Database Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
