I have a page that displays multiple search results. On each search
result I want unique information from two or more tables to be
displayed. All tables have a "client_id" column. I need the main query
to display results based on the $_GET['keywords'] and a second table to
display results based on the "client_id" of the main query. I don't
have any code as of yet to show you. I have done some research on UNION
and found this on mysql.com:
"Selected columns listed in corresponding positions of each SELECT
statement should have the same type. (For example, the first column
selected by the first statement should have the same type as the first
column selected by the other statements.) The column names used in the
first SELECT statement are used as the column names for the results
returned."
Is this going to be a problem since the names and information are going
to be different on each of my tables.
