It runs fine on Linux, but produces an error on FreeBSD: "unknown alias C2". And btw: the query runs on every other DB I have tried... The Query is something like this: SELECT DISTINCT C2.cmc_mchap, C2.cmc_sort FROM sis_cmca, sis_cmca C2 WHERE cm_status != 'U' AND sis_cmca.cmc_name='INTERN2000' AND C2.cmc_name='INTERN2000' AND sis_cmca.cmc_mchap=C2.cmc_mchap .... What causes this error? Workarounds? Jost
