Hi Tom,
this thing is a bit more complicated.
event_ref is the table containing the relations events <-> teams (One
event/multiple Teams)
Spoken: Teams or Persons organise Events,
that's what: (events.id = event_ref.event_id and event_ref.ref_id =
teams.id) is for.
Now, this search wants to be able to find all events that are
organised by teams, pers, orgs where teams,p,o name contains
"search_string".
But maybe you already brought the idea to me! Instead of using
pleanty of ORs I should try using plenty UNIONs.
Would it also possible to make multiple INTERSECTS?
How do these operate on each other, do I also use parentheses?
I am bit in a hurry, right in the moment that why I write stenograph! ;-)
Thank you in advance,
Alex
