I have the following tables: TABLE A month | year | item | num 1 2005 myitem 003
TABLE B num | date | descr 003 02-01-2005 blahblah 003 01-01-2005 toratora I am trying to come up with something like: select date,item,descr from TABLEA a LEFT OUTER JOIN TABLEB b ON b.num=a.num WHERE date=month-01-year; How can you make month (append) - 01 - (append) year? and pass that as a condition to the field date? Is this possible? ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 6: Have you searched our list archives? http://archives.postgresql.org
