>>Are you saying that depending on which date range is being searched, a different table name and schema should be used? thank you for the reply

Yes exactly, it will most often be multiple tables selected from, not just one. Somtimes it will be multiple years (schemas)

>>If so, load them all up as separate Class::DBI classes and choose which one to run the search against in your CGI.

Well they'll likely be searching a range not a singular date. Find transactions from Dec 3 2006 -> jan 3 2007 where this this and this but not this. etc Off the cuff sql like: 

(select date, conn_id, cust_id from 2007.jan_trans where date in ( '20
+07-1-3' ) and cust_id=3)
 UNION ALL 
(select date, conn_id, cust_id from 2006.dec_trans where date in ( '20
+06-12-3') and cust_id=3 )

And actually more often it will probably be about 1-6 month ranges.

So that's what I'm struggling to figure out how to do in Class::DBI. I'm trying to avoid all the normal manual sql work etc.

thanks
