Hi All I have around 5 different tables containing employee records (Name, skill set , current company, years of experience etc). I am trying to show the employee records for different kind of search. One seacrh may be, show all the employees having knowledge on PHP and must have 5+ years of experience. I know, I need to a database query and show it in a view (either a page or block display). I know how to collect the records. The query will be something like this. SELECT res_table.name, res_table.yrsexp, res_table.emailid FROM res_table WHERE (res_table.yrsexp >= 5 AND skilltable.userid = $user->userid AND skilltable.skill = 'PHP') Or even in some cases I need to go for JOIN. Somebody suggested to use Data module for it. I gave a try, I am just seeing tables (in view creation), not sure how do I impose the custom SQL query. Is it really possible to impose above kind of sql query using Data module??? Or is it the best way to go for custom module and implement _alter_view or _pre_exute_view hooks. Regards Austin
