  I want to generate a list of all the unique pairs from these two tables. Such as:

  MatCostType : Loc

  1 : A

  1 : B

  1 : C

  2 : A

  2 : B

  2 : C

  ...

  3 : C

  SET ANSI_NULLS ON

  GO

  SET QUOTED_IDENTIFIER ON

  GO

  SET ANSI_PADDING ON

  GO

  CREATE TABLE [dbo].[TableA](

  [MatCostType] [char](1) NOT NULL

  ) ON [PRIMARY]

  GO

  SET ANSI_PADDING OFF

  GO

  SET ANSI_NULLS ON

  GO

  SET QUOTED_IDENTIFIER ON

  GO

  SET ANSI_PADDING ON

  GO

  CREATE TABLE [dbo].[TableB](

  [Loc] [char](3) NULL

  ) ON [PRIMARY]

  GO

  SET ANSI_PADDING OFF

  GO

  insert into TableA(MatCostType)

  Select '1'

  union all

  Select '2'

  union all

  Select '3'

  Go

  insert into TableB(Loc)

  Select 'A'

  union all

  Select 'B'

  union all

  Select 'C'

  Go

  How do I go about this?

  Thanks,

  pat

  Looks like you want a CROSS JOIN.

  I'd provide the code, but I think you'll get more by reading the link above and coding it yourself.
