Question

Hello I currently 2 tables of data from different sources,
I need to combine all of them into one main table.

Database layout:
Table A
-Name
-Ranking
-Score

Table B
-Name
-Ranking
-Score

Table New
-Name
-Ranking A
-Score A
-Ranking B
-Score B

I want to take the data from table A and B and insert it into table New based on the name.
Not sure how to do this in sql, any help appreciated

Answer 1

Assuming every record in TableA has a corresponding record in TableB:

insert into TableNew
    (Name, RankingA, ScoreA, RankingB, ScoreB)
    select a.Name, a.Ranking, a.Score, b.Ranking, b.Score
        from TableA a
            inner join TableB b
                on a.Name = b.Name

If that assumption is invalid, then:

insert into TableNew
    (Name, RankingA, ScoreA, RankingB, ScoreB)
    select a.Name, a.Ranking, a.Score, b.Ranking, b.Score
        from TableA a
            left join TableB b
                on a.Name = b.Name
    union all
    select b.Name, a.Ranking, a.Score, b.Ranking, b.Score
        from TableB b
            left join TableA a
                on b.Name = a.Name
        where a.Name is null
