in thread Please provide a hint for me to continue with the rest of my program

Hi Yari. Thanks for your input, it is definitely a great use of SQL and more learning; however, the question say all processing needs to be done in Perl and that complex SQL and subqueries are not allowed. I think we need to get @returndata and go through it with loops in Perl.

    Hmm, you may have my answer mixed up with another. What I meant when I said "It could be simpler than you have it" is that, after you write your program as you initially described it (which should work), you can simplify it by removing some unnecessary steps, and it will still work, and be easier to understand.

    And you don't even need to worry about these simplifications now- write the code and you might even find them as you're writing it. You have a plan, make something that works first. Then post the code here and get some critiques, if you like.
