I don't do these kind of searches hardly ever but I wanted to find out how many Cameron Diaz movies I own. I opened Database Query and I am stuck here. vv





I'd appreciate some help on this, thanks in advance!

For something like this, i would think it would be easier to just use the filter function in the program than run a database query.

I would have thought that this is a Plugins question.

Its even easier than that. Just go to the cast section of any movie with Cameron Diaz and double-click on the actor. Then all her movies in your collection will show up in a list.

BulkEdit also has a QuickSearch (Alt-F9) that will find any string that exists in the database XML and flag the DVDs. But you don't need that here, just putting in a shameless plug. 
Thanks for your support.

That ought to work.  As long as you've loaded the Cast & Crew when the plug-in starts.  If you don't check that box, you'll get no results.

Still, as they've mentioned, there are easier ways to find this unless you're set on using the plugin.
Get the CSVExport and Database Query plug-ins here.
