Is it me or does this query actually make any sense???Is story.datetime a column in your table?
You might be able to rewrite this query. I don't know if the
ordering you were trying for is needed, but
SELECT oid, title, image FROM category* WHERE EXISTS(SELECT 1 FROM story WHERE story.approved
ANDstory.category =
category.oid);
should give you the same information.
Hope this helps, -DEJ
