All you want is a list of tickets by employeeId with the employee name? You confused us all with the database term, I guess - if I am reading your question correctly, you mean two tables, not two databases (a database is a collection of tables).
Keep it simple - use iBATIS (or jdbc) and put the results into a map: <select id='getTicketsByEmployeeId' resultclass="java.util.HashMap"> select t.*, employee.name from ticket t join employee e on t.employeeId = e.employeeid where e.employeeid = #value# </select> Done. One (indexed and very fast) hit on the database and you are done. Larry On 4/7/06, olonga henry <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Neither.
