in thread Maximum DBI query length?

Oops, I thought the 'table.column' notation obviated the need for that. What should I be putting for the SQL query then?

    nope, you need to list out each of the tables..
    SELECT contact.field1, contact.field2, business.field1, acn.field1 FROM contact, business, acn WHERE ... (Etc.)
    or you can assign aliases
    SELECT c.field1, c.field2, b.field1, a.field1 FROM contact c, business b, acn a WHERE ... (Etc.)

    OK?

      Fantastic, thanks. I've had to take out the AS thing, since I don't know where in the statement it goes, but I'm back to a working script that doesn't produce any results.

      Thanks again.

    SELECT [columns] FROM [tables] WHERE [condition].
