I was wondering, is there a way to make a kind of one to one left outer join:
I need a join that matches say table A with table B, for each record on table A it must search for its pair on table B, but there exists only 1 record that matches that condition, so when it has found its pair on B, it must stop and continue with the next row at table A.
What I have is a simple LEFT OUTER JOIN.
select * from A left outer join B on A.ID = B.ID order by (NAME) asc
Thanks in advance!
The syntax you present in your question is correct. There is no difference in the query for joining on a one-to-one relationship than on a one-to-many.
SQL doesn t work this way. In the first place it does not look at things row-by-row. In the second place what defines the record you want to match on?
Assuming you don t really care which row is selcted, something like this might work:
SELECT *
From tableA
left outer join
(select b.* from tableb b1
join (Select min(Id) from tableb group by id) b2 on b1.id - b2.id) b
on a.id = b.id
BUt it still is pretty iffy that you wil get the records you want when there are multiple records with the id in table b.
