Hello,
I'm stuck after looking online and reading for 3 days, I would really appreciate some help.
I have a website with a bunch of Movies. So far, I have successfully been able to populated the movie page with everything including a full list of cast members. However, I can't figure out how to grab all the movies that each cast member appears in to go with the list of actors on the individual movie page.
Here is my current code, including some of the code I tried before:
BEGIN
SET NOCOUNT ON;
-- DECLARE @StarID uniqueidentifier
-- SELECT @StarID = StarID FROM dbo.MovieAndStar WHERE Movie_Name_Full = @MovieNameFull
-- SELECT Cast and Information about them
BEGIN
SELECT MovieAndStar.Movie_Name_Full, MovieAndStar.StarID, Star_FName, Star_LName, Star_Image, Star_Bio,Star_Website --, Movie.MovieID
FROM dbo.MovieAndStar INNER JOIN dbo.Starring
ON MovieAndStar.StarID = Starring.StarID
--JOIN dbo.Movie ON MovieAndStar.Movie_Name_Full = Movie.Movie_Name_Full
WHERE MovieAndStar.Movie_Name_Full = @MovieNameFull AND MovieAndStar.StarID = Starring.StarID
--BEGIN
-- SELECT MovieAndStar.StarID, ID FROM dbo.MovieAndStar INNER JOIN dbo.Starring
-- ON MovieAndStar.StarID = Starring.StarID
-- WHERE MovieAndStar.Movie_Name_Full = @MovieNameFull AND MovieAndStar.StarID = Starring.StarID
-- IF StarID has a value Get the Movies for the Matching Cast Member
--IF @StarID IS NOT NULL
-- IF MovieAndStar.StarID IS NOT NULL
--BEGIN
--SELECT dbo.MovieAndStar.Movie_Name_Full, dbo.Movie.MovieID FROM dbo.MovieAndStar
--INNER JOIN dbo.Movie ON dbo.MovieAndStar.Movie_Name_Full = dbo.Movie.Movie_Name_Full
--WHERE dbo.MovieAndStar.StarID = @StarID
--ORDER BY Movie_Name_Full
--END
END
END
This code does give me all the cast for the movie, but I need all the movies that each cast member appears in. There are three tables that I need info from m-ID from the Movie table, MovieNameFull, StarID from the MandA Table and the Star Name, Biography and Website, etc. information from the S table.
Thanks in advance for your help and/or recommendations!

Please try to run your code in TempDB. You'll find that it's not runable at all, even after 10 or so corrections...
