Select AS question

Hello to All,

I've been trying something like this and it doesn't work:

SELECT *,idcat AS cat,idsubcat AS subcat FROM products WHERE 11 IN (cat) AND 34 IN (subcat) AND active!='no'

This is the error it gives me: Unknown column 'cat' in 'where clause'

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

To give you more details this works:

SELECT * FROM products WHERE FIND_IN_SET('$idcat', idcat) AND FIND_IN_SET('$idsubcat', idsubcat) AND active!='no'

But I've read it can return false positives so that's why I was trying to find a workaround... Any comments?

Thank you!

The part "WHERE 11 IN (cat)" should be "WHERE cat IN (11)" or even better "WHERE cat = 11"

Thanks for the reply, but cat and subcat are comma separated values pulled from the database so I can't do it the way you mention.

why not try:
SELECT idcat AS cat && idsubcat AS subcat FROM products WHERE 11 IN (cat) AND 34 IN (subcat) AND active!='no'

i dont know if it'll help.. just sharing my thoughts :)

What RDMS you are using?? May be you have to search it on Google...

can you please show me the values of table?
