Hi folks, I've got two tables, first a history table containing tallies for staff/jobs prior to going live, and second a roster table showing date, diagram, job with one record per person per job per day. the tables are:
create table history ( hsid int4 not null references staff(sid), hjid int4 not null references jobs(jid), hcount int4, primary key (hsid,hjid)); create table roster ( rodate date not null, rogid int4 not null references diagrams(gid), rojid int4 not null references jobs(jid), rosid int4 references staff(sid), primary key (rodate, rogid, rojid)); What's the best/quickest/cheapest way to create a view in the format of the history table but including the details from the roster table for all records prior to today. I've been looking at some form of sub-select/join scheme but as some will only exist on the history and some will only exist on the roster while many will exist on both. -- Gary Stainburn This email does not contain private or confidential material as it may be snooped on by interested government parties for unknown and undisclosed purposes - Regulation of Investigatory Powers Act, 2000 ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 2: you can get off all lists at once with the unregister command (send "unregister YourEmailAddressHere" to [EMAIL PROTECTED])
