Understanding SQL
Below is the SQL Statement I am trying to alter. Can someone help me under stand what the
FROM portion is stating.
SELECT
B.ORDER.DATE,
B.ITEM.DESCRIPTION,
B.QUANTITY,
B.AMOUNT.BILLED,
B.CANCEL.DATE,
B.TYPE.OF.CANCEL,
B.DAL.CANCELLED.BY,
B.DAL.REASON.NOTES,
B.DAL.REASON.TEXT,
B.BILL.DATE,
FROM
BILLING.TRANSACTIONS AS B LEFT OUTER JOIN DAILY.ACTIVITY.LOG AS D ON B.@ID = CAST
(D.BILLING.TRANSACTION.NUM
WHERE
B.CANCEL.DATE = CURRENT_DATE
AND B.CANCEL.DATE > CURRENT_DATE - 1
FROM portion is stating.

Scott's right. The syntax is slightly missed up, but what exactly are you asking?
Do you understand LEFT OUTER JOIN?

Thank you for the thorough response it answered some other questions i had also.
Other than the syntax errors, though, it's a standard LEFT JOIN: from table1 left join to table2.
