>T1, T2 and T3 are references to the same table. Naomi is using 'Table' as the name of the table which may have confused you. Assuming the table was named "Test" then:

SELECT T1.Name as Name1, T2.Name as Name2, T3.Name as Name3 FROM Test T1,Test T2, Test T3 WHERE T1.ID=1 AND T2.ID=2 AND T3.ID=3

ok so is ID like the number of the table?
