Question

I have a function that exports a table to CSV and in the query I set which fields will export.

Here is the query:

SELECT lname, fname, email, address1, address2, city,  state, zip, venue_id, dtelephone, etelephone, tshirt FROM volunteers_2009 

The field venue_id is the the id of the venue which is referred to in another table (venues)

So volunteers_2009.venue_id = venues.id

When I open the CSV file it displays the venue_id which I understand, but I need help modifying the query to put in the name of the venue (venues.venue_name) within the CSV file.

Any help is appreciated.
