<longpost>
I have a database with following design (simplified for explanation)

tblCategory
CAT_ID
CAT

tblSUB_CAT
SUB_CAT_ID
SUB_CAT

tblSECTION
SECTION_ID
SECTION

tblCAT_SUBCAT_SECTION
CAT_SUBCAT_SECTION_ID
CAT_ID
SUB_CAT_ID
SECTION_ID

I need to display a webpage that resembles the following:

Category \ SubCategory

* Section 1
** Info 1
** Info 2

* Section 2
** Info 3
** Info 4

What is the best way to create the "grouped report" style output?

* Do a select with Cat and Subcat building an array of all the "sections" associated with the cat/subcat pair, then exec a <new db cursor> using the cat/subcat/section <close cursor> next, etc, etc until done with sections?

* Is there some simpler solution that I am not seeing?

Thanks in advance for the help,

Kind Regards,
-Dan
