pls. give the result (output of the query) that you expect from the example
and what you are actually getting.

Subject: Newbie Query Question
Hi all,
My first post to this list.
I have a query which I can't quite get to work. I was hoping that
someone here could educate me a bit. I have two tables.
tbl_people
| id | fname | lname |
---------------------------------------
| 1 | frank | smith |
tbl_peoples_interests
| id | interest_id | person |
------------------------------------------
| 1 | 500 | 1 |
| 2 | 504 | 1 |
So... basically what I am trying to do is find the person and join them
with their interests, but I need to get ALL their interests and I need
to be able to access the values of each interest separately. Here is
what I have, but both
SELECT DISTINCT p.fname AS firstname, p.lname AS lastname,
int_1.interest_id AS int_a, int_2.interest_id AS int_b FROM
tbl_personnel AS p, tbl_peoples_interests AS int_1,
tbl_peoples_interests AS int_2 WHERE int_1.person = p.id AND
int_2.person = p.id AND p.id = 1
what I get back has 500 for both int_a and int_b
Thanks
Charles
