Ok here are the details. I have a wish list/gift registry site
(thewishzone.com). I have a table listing all the data on my users. I
also have a table listing all the gifts my users want. Finally I have a
table with gift giving events for the users. What I need to know is how
many events and how many gifts each user has in the database so I can
make certain changes to the content of the main user page on my site.
Right now I just use 2 queries but I would like to do it in one just to
reduce the code some what. I have other uses for similar queries but
this is the main reason.
