I am having some problems seeing posts to the list so if anyone has already received this mail I apologise. Anyway, I have a two table query where I want to return records from the first table and if they have corresponding details in my second table I wish to return those as well. A sample sql statement I am using is as follows:
select decheader.code, decheader.height, decheader.width, decplacement.position, decplacement.product from decheader left join decplacement on decheader.code = decplacement.code where (decheader.code = '00007' and decplacement.product = 'OVRLCKBDG') or (decheader.code = '00006' and decplacement.product = '1029106') or (decheader.code = '00005' and decplacement.product = '1029103') or (decheader.code = '00005' and decplacement.product = '1029104') or (decheader.code = '00005' and decplacement.product = '1029105') or (decheader.code = '00005' and decplacement.product = '1029106') or (decheader.code = '00004' and decplacement.product = '1029104') or (decheader.code = '00004' and decplacement.product = '1029105') In the above example, all of the codes exist in the decheader table but only code 00007 has a corresponding product in the decplacement table. I would wish to return all the decheader details for the above codes and the decplacement details for code 00007 as well. This statement actually only gives me the details for code 0007 and nothing else. I should add that for each record in the decheader table, there may be one, none or many records in the decplacement table but I will only be interested in a specific one. I hope this makes some sort of sense!! **************************************************** This e-mail is intended for the recipient only and may contain confidential information.
