Hello I have a query that goes through and gets the data out of three tables without a problems. Now the task at hand is to compair that out put against three identiacal tables not displaying any duplicate date.
Tables: a a.aocode , a.CaseNo , a.CaseName b. b.ao_code , b.initials c c.CaseNo, c.Name Then the new three tables have the same structure except they are named a_new, b_new, c_new. The query that I am using to pull the data out of the first table is as follows: Select distinct a.CaseNo, a.CaseName, b.initials, c.Name, from a left join b on a.aocode=b.ao_code left join c on a.CaseNo=c.CaseNo where b.initials ='XXX' For this example lets say that I have a where clause in there also that would get passed as a variable from another script. Now how in the world to I take run this query against both sets of tables and then combine the data and bring back a result?
