No I'll go with user error first.
I will stick with SQL not being very well-designed. For example,
select joincolumn, othercolumn1, othercolumn2;
from tableone join tabletwo;
on tableone.joincolumn=tabletwo.joincolumn;
order by joincolumn
is incorrect, because joincolumn's table has to be specified! But it
is the same value either way!
Saw this start up and got a help ticket, to find poor sql sub-select of
top 1 not sorted properly.
Did you just do a distinct on what was there without a join to get your
proper starting point? Then compare that rowcount against your lookup
table for the descriptions?
No. You saw my query.
Sincerely,
Gene Wirchenko
