offhand
left join tabl2 on (table2.lastname = table1.lastname
or table2.lastname like table1.lastname + ' %')
or if you want to match both
left join table2 on (
(table2.lastname = table1.lastname and table2.suffix is null) or
(table2.lastname + ' ' + table2.suffix = table1.lastname))
This is sql server syntax... it's gonna be different for every db...
it's an ugly, PURE EVIL BLACK AS COAL schema you have for the data
there... I have to deal with those at my job too -- hate 'em...
