Re: where clauses with and

Help me out, maybe Im confused.
Using AND means that the usertype field must contain both 'Drug Addiction'
AND 'Alcohol Addiction' in each row, which is why it returned 0 rows.
Using OR or IN would return the proper results. Where usertype IN ('Drug
Addiction','Alcohol Addiction')
Is there an avantage to joining the table to itself?

Thanks
Chad
