Hello Ian and thank you! I have tried both the left and right joins, the RIGHT join brought back the 15k results again, the LEFT join was bringing back so many that i killed the browser before it hurt something :)
JOINS: SELECT * FROM GriffinDataRevised LEFT OUTER JOIN Top200 ON GriffinDataRevised.PartNumber = Top200.Part_Number --This one seemed like a infinite loop was happening, crashed browser from results. SELECT * FROM GriffinDataRevised RIGHT OUTER JOIN Top200 ON GriffinDataRevised.PartNumber = Top200.Part_Number 15k results again So if i know that its true that the Top200 table has 200 distinct part numbers and that the information table may have all 200 part numbers why how would i accomplish just getting the matching results for the 200 part numbers in the GriffinData table? It may be possible that the 98 results are the only parts that exist in the larger information table. But my query was still running wrong, correct?
