   I am running a custom query using a select, and I have got a list of post id's, how can I get all of the post information for these post's?

   do I need to do setup_postdata? as I could not get it working?

   I want to be able to use the tempalte tags such as : the_title();
   etc..

   I am trying to use the following:
   <?php if ( function_exists('the_tags') ) { the_tags('Tags: ', ', ', ''); } ?>

   But it is not appearing

   My query is : $myquery = $wpdb->get_results($hdqry);

   yes, setup_postdata will work if the result of your query is data from the post table in wordpress

   here's how i use it with get_children which returns post objects
   

   $pdfs_args = array(
   		'post_parent' => $post->ID,
   		'post_type' => 'attachment',
   		'numberposts' => -1, // unlimited
   		'post_mime_type' => 'application/pdf'
   	);
          $pdfs = get_children($pdfs_args);
   
   	if (!empty($pdfs))
   	{
   		echo "<h2>Literature</h2>";
   		foreach ($pdfs as $post) // important that it is "$post"
   		{
   			setup_postdata($post);
   			the_title();
                           // to check out what's in the object, uncomment the following line
   			// echo "<textarea style=\"width:100%\">".  print_r($post, true). "</textarea>";
   		}
   	}

   hope this helps
