Hi!

    I need some suggestions about a special query. The situation is:
There are (for simplicity) 4 tables: A,B,C and D which must be joined
like this:
    Between A and B must be an outer-join  association and C and D must
be connected to B also with  outer-join.
But this causes a 'Cross dependency found in OUTER JOIN' error. I could
connect A and B with INNER JOIN but it's useless from  my point of view.
I think the problem could be solved with redesigning the database
structure, but it's currently not possible.

    Does somebody know a good (general) solution for this? Temporary
tables could help, but i deal with lot's of data and I'm afraid it would
be very slow.

    Thanks!

        Christian Fischer
