The query returned with an error:

you don't want to use that query anyway

What do I need to do next?

Breaking each of the queries down and testing them makes sense.

[r937]

that's right, take each of the subqueries, run them separately, with an EXPLAIN on them

OK, I'm onto to it!

I shall return...

[Forbes]

OK, I've absolutely no idea what's going on here with EXPLAIN.

I've had a look around, trying to understand, but it's so beyond me, I don't even know where to begin.

Right now, I don't even know what I don't understand, which is troubling.

There's just far too much to learn and I simply don't have the time to commit to this project, when client work is more pressing.

I can't expect people to just do all of this for me, so I think the best thing to do is call the whole thing off, and then come back to this, perhaps, at some later date.

Guys, thanks for your time! Always appreciated.

[r937]

call the whole thing off?? when you were so close??

[Forbes]

call the whole thing off?? when you were so close??

Yeah, but you're doing all of the work, which just isn't right.

If I could take the advice and run with that, that would be fine. But I have no idea what I'm doing!
