I followed the tutorial to create a new content node type with a module, which was very helpful.

Now that I have some of those nodes, I want to select them all in my php. I could do this myself by doing the select and the join, etc, but I'm wondering if there's an accepted best-practices way to do it in Drupal already.

I want to "select all nodes of type "mynode" and join their corresponding data into the results".

Should I just do my own raw dbquery or is there a drual way to select a list of nodes?

If I read your question correctly, the module you're looking for is called Views :
http://drupal.org/project/views

Cheers :-)

yep views is a querry builder. (may want to have a look at the contemplate.module (for themeing CCK) and panels.module (views layouts) views has quite a few addons, as does CCK.

documentation for views can be found here:
