Hi,
I need to create a SQL Select that would return the following query:
EQUIPMENT.EQUIP_ID, EQUIPMENT.EQUIP_DESC, TRANDETAIL.* FROM TRANDETAIL --- JOINS
Structure of tables (simplified):
TRANDETAIL EQUIP_PK
ORDER_NO
ORDERS ORDER_NO
EQUIP_ID
EQUIPMENT EQUIP_ID Char(15) - Unique field
EQUIP_PK
EQUIP_DESC Char(40) - Equipment descriptoinThe challenge is that the SQL Select should select All Records from TRANDETAIL and records
from EQUIPMENT either by the field TRANDETAIL.EQUIP_PK Jointed with EQUIPMENT.EQUIP_PK
or by Joining ORDERS on ORDER_NO and then Joining EQUIPMENT on EQUIPMENT.EQUIP_ID with ORDERS_EQUIP_ID.
Therefore, it looks like I will have the table EQUIPMENT twice and this creates many NULL values.
Is my explanation too confusing? Any suggestions?
TIA
