Question

I have two tables.

Transaction
------------
TransactionId
Date
Amount
Quantity
ProductCode
etc

-and-

Product
-----------
ProductId
Description
ProductCode
etc

I am trying to create a stored procedure that will give me the transactions with the description of the product with them.

I have this so far but it’s not even close to compiling. I’m not understanding SQL syntax to well.

USE SuburbanPortal;
SELECT [CompanyCode]
      ,[Status]
      ,[Branch]
      ,[ProductCode]
      ,[TransactionBranch]
      ,[AccountNumber]
      ,[ReferenceNumber]
      ,[TransactionDate]
      ,[Quantity]
      ,[Amount]
      ,[SalesTax]
  FROM [Company].[Transaction]
  LEFT OUTER JOIN [Company].[Transaction] ON
    [Company].[Transaction].[ProductCode] = [Company].[Products].[ProductCode]

Can someone point me in the right direction?

Answer 1

Why aren’t you using an INNER JOIN? Also, you’re joining [Transaction] on [Transaction] instead of [Transaction] on [Product].

SELECT  T.ProductCode
        ,T.[Field1]
        ,T.[Field2]
        ,P.[Field1]
        ,P.[Field2]
FROM    [Company].[Transaction] T
        INNER JOIN [Company].[Product] P
            ON T.[ProductCode] = P.[ProductCode];
