PROBLEM

How do I access column data in a previous select statement from a sub-query?

Below is a simple mock up of what I'm attempting to do.

Tables used: Quotes, Users

QUOTES TABLE

qid, (quote id)

owner_uid,

creator_uid

SQL SYNTAX:

SELECT q.qid, q.owner_uid, q.creator_uid, owner.fname, owner.lname FROM quotes q, (SELECT u.fname, u.lname FROM users u WHERE u.uid = q.owner_uid) AS owner WHERE q.qid = '#'

SUMMARY

I want to be able to use the quote table's owner_uid and specify it for the owner table so I can return all the owner info for that particular quote.

The problem is, q.owner_uid is not recognized in the owner sub-query. What am I doing wrong?
