    Why in the world would you do this using mysql? Do it using PHP. Simply check for post-category, and if the posts match the criteria, insert a link before the post (or after, or in, or or or)

    I was thinking that its much easier to do with mysql, and i am not that good with PHP.

    If you have some idea how to do this pls post code.

    Thanks man.

    Uhm. This is not mysql's job. What you'd have to do is something like this:
    
    if (in_category($category_name, $post_name)) {
    //insert the link here
    }
    
    Code (markup):
