Hi all I'm trying to get an sql statement working and just can't get it.
I have a header/detail table and want to create one table in order to report from it. Header -->Work Date=2006/11/06, Clock Number=0001,TimeSheet=1 Detail -->Work done=Repair, Timesheet=1 Detail-->Work done=Fix, Timesheet=1 Header -->Work Date=2006/11/06, Clock Number=0002,TimeSheet=2 Header -->Work Date=2006/11/06, Clock Number=0003,TimeSheet=3 Header -->Work Date=2006/11/06, Clock Number=0004,TimeSheet=4 Detail -->Work done=Repair, Timesheet=1 Timesheet 2& 3 do not have any work booked so there is no child records. Ideally what I'm trying to end up with is one row for each header: - header_date,Header_clock,header_timesheet, detail_work, detail_timesheet 2006/11/06, 0001,1,repair,1 2006/11/06, 0001,2,fix,2 2006/11/06,0002,3,"","" etc I've tried : - select header.*,detail.* from detail inner join header on detail.timesheet=header.timesheet will miss out timesheets 2& 3 because no work was booked on the day in question select header.*, detail.* from header right join detail on header.timesheet=detail.timesheet What am I missing other than my brains today?
