XML to query with inner join

I have a CF page that reads an XML file into a query using <cffile>, XMLParse, and QueryAddrow.

I then do a QoQ on the result, and voila! I have my page.  I cache the query for 8 hours and the XML file is only re-read when that cache expires.  It works well.

My problem now is that the file contains data from three database tables instead of one, so I need to do an inner join on the tables.  But I can't do a QoQ with an inner join.

Does anyone know a way for me to do this?

Oh, didn't know that.  How about nesting QofQ's?  Join Query1 and Query2 into a new query, then join that to Query 3?

You can effect an inner join using ANSI SQL syntax:

Assuming you have two queries to join, Query1 and Query2, and both tables have a common column "JoinCol" (it's not actually necessary for the column to be named the same in both tables as long as the data relates), you can do:

<cfquery name="JoinQuery" dbtype="query">

     SELECT Query1.Col1, Query1.Col2, Query2.Col1, Query2.Col2

     FROM Query1, Query2

     WHERE Query1.JoinCol = Query2.JoinCol

       AND {some other optional criteria here}

</cfquery>

If you have three queries to join, and the join between Query1 and Query2 is different from the join between Query2 and Query3, then something like this:

<cfquery name="JoinQuery" dbtype="query">

     SELECT Query1.Col1, Query1.Col2, Query2.Col1, Query2.Col2, Query3.Col1, Query3.Col2

     FROM Query1, Query2, Query3

     WHERE Query1.JoinColA = Query2.JoinColA

       AND Query2.JoinColB = Query3.JoinColB

       AND {some other optional criteria here}

</cfquery>

Curiously, I tried that before.  This is the error I get:

Query Of Queries syntax error.
  Encountered ",. Detected more than two tables in the 'from' list 'cercat', Currently only 2 tables are supported,

I'll try that as soon as the CF server is back up. You can tell it's COB Friday when you get a 503 on the test server

Ok, so this seems to work.  I've tried it with three tables and it gives me exactly what I need.  I don't see why it wouldn't work with additional tables.

Thanks!
