JOINS - How do I JOIN these tables

Thu, 01 Sep 2011 07:41:54 GMT

Hi All,

I have 2 tables. The 2nd table I want to join to my 1st table whereever the common fields match. So to illustrate

Table1:

Field a, Field b, Field c, Field D, Field E, Field F

Table2:
Field D, Field E, Field F, NEWFIELD G

I want fields D, E and F to reference to where those same values appear in table 1 (So there are 3 common fields). Whenever they do it needs to then add NEWFIELD G to table 1.

Thanks,
Byron

I think it shouold be something like:

Table1:

Field D & Field E & Field F as KEY_FIELDS,

Field a,

Field b,

Field c,

Field D,

Field E,

Field F

;

Table2: //you can actually leave this line out

LEFT JOIN Table1

Field D & Field E & Field F as KEY_FIELDS,

NEWFIELD G

;

After this I think you can also do a

DROP field KEY_FIELDS FROM Table1;

to remove the KEY field

Thanks it sounds right, my model is a little complicated, so kinda realising this won't work. Need to clean things up a bit first I rate Thanks Faizoel!
