Combining two DataSources

Hi, I'm new to QlikView and i have the following question:

I have two connections, to 2 different databases

For example

CONNECT TO DB1

AA: Select A,B,C from table1;

CONNECT TO DB2

BB: Select D,E,F from table2;

I dont know how to use fields from table 1 into a new query combining fields from table2

Somenthing like..:

Select * from AA,BB where AA.A like BB.E;

Thanks for the help

You typically use one field that links tables from both sources (a foreign and primary key?), and give these the exact same fieldname in QV. So if column A from table1 actually refers to column E from table2 you would get:

TABLE1:

CONNECT TO DB1;

SELECT A as key, B, C from table1;

TABLE2:

CONNECT DB2;

SELECT D, E as key, F from table2;

The joining of the tables works automatic when you combine attributes from both tables in one chart.

Thanks for your answer

I'm aware of "automatic" join when fields have same name.

But i need something else.

I have two ListBoxs

LIST1     LIST2

A          CAT

B          DOG

C          HAT

So what i need is to filter LIST2 by finding values from LIST1.

For example if I select "A" it should bring CAT and HAT. I need something like a "LIKE" statement, so that's why a simple join isn't enoguht.

Thanks for your help
