Hi Hilmar,
Is a date one and only join condition? Can you provide little bit more info about relationship between those two tables?
>I want to JOIN one table with another one. The fields should be joined by date. Instead of the exact date, I want to find a record, in the second table, whose date is closest (<=) to a certain date in the first table. In other words, an exact match may, or may not, exist.

>Can this be done with SQL - SELECT syntax? I was thinking about the workaround of writing a function that gets the PK of the second table, and then use that field for the join. However, I was wondering whether there was a simpler way to do this.
