>>I need some select/SQL advice please
>>
>>I am combinging two tables T1 & T2 they have customer numbers/Custno and quarter sales totals/qs
>>
>>T1 contains data for the year 2010 T2 contains data from the year 2011

>>Data example is something like this;
>>
>>T1.Custno T1.QS
>>001 $150.00
>>004 $650.00
>>008 $50.00
>>012 $70.00
>>060 $95.00

>>
>>T1.Custno T1.QS
>>001 $350.00
>>002 $550.00
>>008 $750.00
>>035 $10.00
>>060 $595.00

>>I want to create a comparison table that includes all the records of both tables, but I want to match up the customers when they are the same.
>>I know I can do it with a scan/endscan type sort with conditions, but I was wondering if there was an easier way to do it with a select statement.

>>Custno 2011_QS 2010_QS
>>001 $350.00 $150.00

I think you need an outer join
