Well, I'd hazard a guess that OPT_GRPS_TABLE may not be what you think it
is; in any case, the first step in debugging would be to echo your query $q
and see what it really contains. And does the class that handles your db
query have an error reporting function? If so, try using it.
Note that to retrieve all records, you could skip the WHERE, or use WHERE 1
Cheers
