Hi folks, here's a straight forward join that I simply can't get my head round.
I've got consumables: cs_id, cs_make, cs_comments cons_locations: cl_id, cl_desc cons_stock: cs_id, cl_id, status (1=ordered, 2=in-stock) (one stock record per stock item, qty=3 means 3 records) I'm struggling to create a quiery to produce cs_id, cs_make, cs_comments, cl_desc, hand_qty, order_qty where hand_qty and order_qty is the number of records grouped by cs_id, cl_id, and status. I've done the simple part and created a view balances to tally the cons_stock as: create view balances as select cost_cs_id, cost_cl_id, cost_css_id, count(*) as qty from cons_stock group by cost_cs_id, cost_cl_id, cost_css_id; I then have trouble joining this to the consumables and locations table to get the results I need. -- 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 9: the planner will ignore your desire to choose an index scan if your joining column's datatypes do not match
