texte = Say I have a business.db and an employee.db. The business.db is a list of =businesses and the employee.db is a list of people who work at the =businesses in the businesses.db.The employee.db has three headers: sku, employee_name, and business_sku.The business.db has three headers: sku, business_name, and business_=address.When viewing the business.db contents on an html page, I put in an extra =header in my table called Employees but keep in mind that there is no actua=l Employees header in the business.db. What goes in this Employess column =is the number of employees that the particular business has working there. = I pull this information by doing a [search] on the employee.db and =pulling the [numfound] of employee_name I get in return by sending it the =business.db current sku. Here's an example:[search db=3Dbusiness.db&geskudatarq=3D0][founditems] [search db=3Demployee.db&eqbusiness_skudatarq=3D[sku]][numfound][/searc=h][/founditems][/search]Here's my problem:All the headers for the business.db html data table are clickable so that =the user can sort by them. I haven't done this for the Employees header =yet because I can't figure out how to search the employee.db and then sort =the business.db contents based on the returned data.Hopefully I communicated my problem well enough. This is a fictional =situation but the core problem is what I'm after -- how to search another =db inside of a search and affect the parent search results. Any help =would be greatly appreciated.
