Default subquery a city

Hi all,

I've to link a person's address to the city table to know the state but
unfortunately the same ZIP may be in 2 different states (don't ask me
why....)

So I may have this in ZIP table:
ZIP CITYNAME STATE
1410 Thierrens VD
1410 Correvon VD
1410 Prevendavaux FR

So linking the city like this:
select STATE from person
left join city on person.ZIP = city.ZIP returns 2 rows.

I've tried to add a fulltext index in the city table and doing that

select STATE from person
left join city on (person.ZIP = city.ZIP and MATCH(city.city)
AGAINST(person.cityname))
isn't allowed as AGAINST need a string and can't work with a field name.

How can I fix this ?

Thanks for answering.

Bob
