I can't do joins...need help.

  • I have two table, Monkey_Message & Monkey_BodyText, which are used for my forum. I am trying to set-up full text searching but I cannot for the life of me figure out the join to have both tables searched--especially since I am trying to return the ranking, which adds in two more tables. I basically want to be able to search both tables when I do a search, since one table contains a subject, and the other the body text.

    SELECT FT.[Key],FT.Rank,FT2.Rank,MM.Message_id,mm.msgsubject

    from containstable(Monkey_Message,MsgSubject,'floating') FT, Monkey_Message MM

    --This is the table I can't get to join in there.

    --join

    --containstable(Monkey_BodyText,*,'floating') FT2, Monkey_BodyText MB

    --where MM.Message_ID=FT. and MB.MessageID=FT2.

  • didn't you make a carthesian product in your first query (the join-predicate is missing) ?
