>Hello All, I need to include a derived field in a view based on whether a certain value is present in another table ( does that make sense ? ). The problem is, the table in question can have more than one record but I'm only interested in a certain type, any ideas as to how I can do this ?

SELECT DISTINCT Table1.*,
CASE WHEN Table2.Type IS NULL THEN 0 ELSE 1 END AS Tbl2Type
FROM Table1
LEFT JOIN Table2 ON Table1.PK = Table2.FK AND Table2.Type = 'X'
