I’m trying to write a query or two that I can use to display

  • 0

I’m trying to write a query or two that I can use to display two separate views of the same table side by side. I have records with orig, dest, and stuff. For each orig there is a record with every dest and the stuff related to it. So say one orig is Atlanta, and one is Phoenix. There will be two records that have both Atlanta and Phoenix in either the orig or dest:

ORIG    / DEST    / STUFF
Atlanta / Phoenix / Stuff for this record
Phoneix / Atlanta / Stuff for this record

What I need is a side by side listing of Atlanta with every dest on one side, and every dest with Atlanta on the other. I need to do this for every record. So the result would be something like:

Atlanta / Athens / Stuff  :  Athens / Atlanta / Stuff
Atlanta / Chicago / Stuff  :  Chicago / Atlanta / Stuff
Boulder / Athens / Stuff  :  Athens / Boulder / Stuff

It needs to end up in excel, so I can do two separate queries, but I can’t figure out how to match them up. This is as far as I’ve gotten:

SELECT a.orig, a.dest, a.stuff from table a WHERE a.orig = 'ATL' and a.orig IN (SELECT b.dest from table b WHERE b.dest = 'ATL')

EDIT: Stuff is different between records ATL / DEN and DEN / ATL.

    Select a.orig, a.dest, a.stuff, b.orig, b.dest, b.stuff 
from a inner join a as b on
a.orig = b.dest and b.orig = a.dest
where a.orig = 'ATL' 
Order by a.orig, a.dest

    Since it appears you want have the dest Phoenix line up with the orig Phoenix, etc, and presumbably the stuff is different and meaningful
