Question

I have two tables, each with some columns that are the same. However, each table also contains data that is unique. (Similar data includes a row name).

What I need to do is tack on the data from table two to it’s matching row in table one (matching the name column).

Is there any way to do this?

I need stuff from table two to go into table 1 where the names match:

Answer 1

The following query should return all matching rows with columns from both tables. Note that any unique rows (that only exist in table one or two) will be excluded.

SELECT 
  one.matchingColum, 
  one.oddColum, 
  two.evenColumn
FROM one
JOIN two on one.matchingColumn = two.matchingColumn
