I only come into contact with database work occasionally, hence the simplicity of my question for the majority of you, but I currently have a database to work with which consists on 15 tables.

The only commonality between these tables is two columns: customer_number and transaction_date. I need to construct an audit trail scenario, where the user enters the customer number and a list of all transactions, in date order, pertaining to that customer streams into a web table (PHP created) from all the tables to hand.

I'm looking for advice please regarding how to go about bringing these tables together. JOIN? Any ideas gratefully received.
