Query to join the table

  • HI,

    table -1

    vijay BE ECE

    table-2

    vijay ECE a

    vijay CSE b

    vijay MEC c

    now i want a query to obtain the below result

    vijay BE ECE a

    vijay BE CSE b

    vijay BE MEC c

    OR

    vijay BE ECE a

    vijay BE CSE null

    vijay BE MEC null

  • Not sure why you'd want to do that, but you can achieve it with a CROSS JOIN.

  • Those tables are awful. . . what is the purpose of this?

    --Test data, two simple tables since you didn't supply DDL

    DECLARE @table1 AS TABLE (col1 CHAR(5), col2 CHAR(2), col3 CHAR(3))

    INSERT INTO @table1

    SELECT 'vijay', 'BE', 'ECE'

    DECLARE @table2 AS TABLE (col1 CHAR(5), col2 CHAR(3), col3 CHAR(1))

    INSERT INTO @table2

    SELECT 'vijay', 'ECE', 'a'

    UNION ALL SELECT 'vijay', 'CSE', 'b'

    UNION ALL SELECT 'vijay', 'MEC', 'c'

    Few examples that produce the results you want: -

    --As John suggested, Cross Join for the first result set

    SELECT a.col1, a.col2, b.col2, b.col3 FROM @table1 a

    CROSS JOIN @table2 b

    SELECT b.col1, a.col2, b.col2, b.col3 FROM @table1 a

    LEFT OUTER JOIN @table2 b ON a.col3 = b.col2

    UNION ALL

    SELECT b.col1, a.col2, b.col2, NULL FROM @table1 a

    LEFT OUTER JOIN @table2 b ON a.col3 <> b.col2

    SELECT a.col1, a.col2, c.col2, CASE WHEN b.col2 IS NULL

    THEN NULL

    ELSE a.col3 END AS col3

    FROM @table2 a

    LEFT OUTER JOIN @table1 b ON a.col2 = b.col3

    CROSS JOIN @table1 c

    SELECT a.col1, a.col2, c.col2, NULLIF(ISNULL(NULLIF(ISNULL(b.col3,c.col2),b.col3),a.col3),c.col2) AS col3

    FROM @table2 a

    LEFT OUTER JOIN @table1 b ON a.col2 = b.col3

    CROSS JOIN @table1 c

    Without more information and DDL, I'm not sure you'll get much else as an answer
