try

select t1.*, t2.*
from Tran t1 full outer join Estab t2
 on t1.TDate = t2.EDate
and t1.TValue = t2.EValue
and t1.TType = t2.EType

is that what you wanted ?

Replace the table name...

EstablishmentTra???

with it's actual name and I suspect this will get you where you wanted to go.

SELECT LoanMaster.LoanID as loadid, LoanMaster.ArrowDebtorCode as debcode, NULL as EType, EstablishmentTra???.TransactionType as Ttype, NULL as Edate, NULL as EValue, EstablishmentTra???.Value as Tvalue, EstablishmentTra???.Date as Tdate
FROM LoandMaster INNER JOIN EstablishmentTra??? ON LoanMaster.LoanID = EstablishmentTra???.LoanID 
WHERE LoanMaster.LoanID = N'007A'
UNION 
SELECT LoandMaster.LoanID as loadid, LoanMaster.ArrowDebtorCode as debcode, LoanTransaction.TransactionType as EType, NULL as Ttype, LoanTransaction.Date as EDate,  LoanTransaction.Value as Evalue, NULL as Tvalue, NULL as Tdate 
FROM LoandMaster INNER JOIN EstablishmentTra??? ON LoanMaster.LoanID = LoanTransaction.LoanID 
WHERE LoanMaster.LoanID = N'007A'

Hi

Great have the union working - thanks - But i need to join 2 extra tables i have attach a file
Please help

You can include as many tables in a UNION query as you like although it's not generally referred to as Joining tables - that's actually something different.  The requirement to make the queries work together in a UNION query is that each query must have the same structure....

SELECT Field1, Field2, Field3 FROM Table1;
UNION
SELECT Field1, Field2, Field3 FROM Table2;
UNION
SELECT Field1, Field2, Field3 FROM Table3;

If the number of fields in one query increases the number of columns to be displayed then all queries must have a new column added to match even if that column appears as a simple NULL, (ie:...

SELECT Field1, Field2, Field3, NULL as Field4 FROM Table1;
UNION
SELECT Field1, Field2, Field3, NULL as Field4 FROM Table2;
UNION
SELECT Field1, Field2, Field3, NULL as Field4 FROM Table3;
UNION
SELECT Field1, Field2, Field3, Field4 FROM Table4;

Hi
Iam having difficulty with join - how would you include both the joins within the union is ave set up -
I have attached the query and the 2 other tables

Thanks

 

by: Rick_RickardsPosted on 2008-07-28 at 16:47:38ID: 22107695

again it's not a JOIN it's a UNION but in either case the attachment seems to be missing...

>> "I have attached the query and the 2 other tables"

 

by: Rick_RickardsPosted on 2008-07-28 at 16:51:25ID: 22107711

Perhaps this will help.  Write up each query with the QBE grid one table at a time - make sure they all have the same number of columns.  Then stack the SQL code from each query, one on top of the other separated by UNION....

SELECT Field1, Field2, Field3, NULL as Field4 FROM Table1;
UNION
SELECT Field1, Field2, Field3, NULL as Field4 FROM Table2;
UNION
SELECT Field1, Field2, Field3, NULL as Field4 FROM Table3;
UNION
SELECT Field1, Field2, Field3, Field4 FROM Table4;

Each line above and below UNION is a separate query, UNION just glues them all together.  One thing you may ultimately need to consider is that UNION will collaps any dupliate rows into a single row.  Doesn't sound like that will happen in this case but if it did and that was not what you wanted then you'd just change UNION to read UNION ALL.

SELECT Field1, Field2, Field3, NULL as Field4 FROM Table1;
UNION ALL
SELECT Field1, Field2, Field3, NULL as Field4 FROM Table2;
