  • Sounds like you need a couple of left joins and a case - this should do...

    SELECT

    s.sno

    ,CASEWHEN e.sno IS NOT NULL THEN

    'Y'

    WHEN n.sno IS NOT NULL THEN

    'N'

    WHEN e.sno IS NULL AND n.sno IS NULL THEN

    'N/A'

    END

    FROM student s

    LEFT JOIN StudentDrillEnrolled e

    ON s.sno=e.sno

    LEFT JOIN StudentDrillNotEnrolled n

    ON s.sno=n.sno;

  • Or you can use EXISTS:

    SELECT

    sno, sname, address,

    CASE

    WHEN EXISTS(SELECT 1 FROM dbo.StudentDrillEnrolled sde WHERE sde.sno = s.sno) THEN 'Y'

    WHEN EXISTS(SELECT 1 FROM dbo.StudentDrillNotEnrolled sdne WHERE sdne.sno = s.sno) THEN 'N'

    ELSE 'N/A'

    END AS Enrolled

    FROM dbo.student s
