Re: Search fields in multiple tables

Howdy, Raju.

Could you please provide a more concrete example of what you need?

What information would you like your query to return exactly?
An ordered set of records? Ordered by rank...?
Please
give an example of a search operation and intended result

Best,
Oliveiros
