Re: [ACFUG Discuss] SQL Question
Assuming that you have properly joined the two tables you can try adding DISTINCT to the query. A proper join between the tables normally results in distinct rows being return. If you simply include the table names in the FROM clause, you will get a cross-product join which will result in many duplicates. A proper join eliminates the duplicates be only joining rows between the tables where a primary key = a foreign key. Sometimes you can join tables but still need to add DISTINCT ... SELECT DISTINCT * FROM tableA, tableB WHERE tableA.primaryKey = tableB.foreignKey Sincerely, Brooks Wilson Try not to become a man of success but rather to become a man of value. - Albert Einstein (1879-1955) Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta · 1000 Peachtree Street, N.E. · Atlanta Georgia 30309-4470 404.498.8178 · fax 404.498.8239 · [EMAIL PROTECTED] Singles Concepts, Inc.

RE: [ACFUG Discuss] SQL Question
If the two tables are the same layout (same columns), you have an easy solution: SELECT * INTO dbo.newTable FROM (SELECT * FROM table1 UNION SELECT * FROM table2) -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Singles Concepts, Inc.
