Question

I have two MS access tables in my asp.net application (named categories & books) . The first table (Categories) has two fields named Category_ID and Category_Name.

The second table has three fields named Book_ID, Category_ID and Bookname (category_id is joint field in two tables. In some Pages I have the category_name and I want to get book rows with that category name. In other words I should first get the category id based on category name that i have then select from books where the categoryID matchs. But I don’t know how.

thank you

SELECT Book.* FROM 
Book INNER JOIN Category ON Book.Category_ID = Category.Category_ID
WHERE Category.category_name = 'TheName'
