To answer you question directly yes this should be possible but why not
simply use a join?

Select d.descripcion from detalle d, aceros a where d.idkey = a.idkey

Always use a join (that's the point of SQL) where you can, it's a lot faster
as the data set is built on the server and done in one query. If your aceros
table holds a 1000 rows your solution will cause 1001 sql queries to be
parsed and run over odbs which will take a lot longer.

I guess you should also have a primary key on a.idkey and a key of some sort
on d.description although the above query will cause a full table scan
anyway as there is no where clause on aceros that limits the data returned.

If you need to limit the data returned in some way then simply add it to the
where clause.
