Question

I Have two tables named account and assignedgroup. In account table there are two columns named ID and sourceaccount and In assignedgroup I have two columns named ID and assignedgroup.

I want to select ID by joining account and assignedgroup tables. I did something like this:

select a.ID
from account a 
  left outer join assignedgroup b 
   on a.sourceaccount = b.assignedgorup

But I get Null as output the reason being that The values in sourceaccount are like this

sourceaccount:

sample
sample

and whereas the values in assignedgroup are like this

assignedgroup:

sample-L1
sample-P-L1

Can anyone help me on how to join these two tables?

I want to get all the ID’s whenever there is a sample value in both sourceaccount and assignedgroup.

It is comparing sample with sample-L1 since those are not equal it is returning null but I want the ID even if it has values like that. I mean if somepart of the column values matches then also I want those values to be displayed

Answer 1

SELECT  a.id
FROM    account a
LEFT JOIN
        assignedgroup b
ON      b.assignedgorup LIKE a.sourceaccount + '-%'
