noob: trying to build on "blog tutorial"

[eluser]cirox![/eluser]
I'm still not getting it.

$query is my original query that returns the blog entries. (table `entries`)

My understanding is that I need to run a separate query that will return the number of comments for a particular $entry_id. (different table `comments`)

But because the posts are extracted in the foreach loop inside the view, that's the only place I can see fit to run the query. (i.e. that's where I will be able to pass the entryid of the current $row as a parameter to the second query).
