Hey guys,

I'm running a contest in my forum that ends tonight. I need some help assembling a query I am going to use to get into Excel so I can do a random drawing.

Here is what I need (three pieces of information)

List of distinct users that posted in a particular thread
Their join date
Their post count

I have the first part figured out

SELECT DISTINCT USER FROM POST WHERE THREADID = 'xxxxxxx'

I figure I need some sort of join on the USER table (grabbing JOINDATE and POSTS) but I"m not quite that adept with SQL just yet...

thanks in advance!

I think I figured it out :)

SELECT DISTINCT post.username, user.posts, user.joindate
FROM post
INNER JOIN user
ON post.userid=user.userid
WHERE post.threadid='xxxxxxx'
