Question

Is it possible to get 1 result where I require data from 3 tables.

First table: I will need to grab all the fields (1 row found by a primary key)

Second table: I will need to grab the field ‘username’ (connected to first table by ‘master_id’)

Third table: I will need to grab the latest added row with the associated master_id key (table has ‘date’, ‘master_id’, ‘previous_name’).

Answer 1

select top 1 first.*, second.username, third.*
from first 
inner join second on first.id = second.master_id
inner join third on first.id = third.master_id
order by
third.date desc

As always there are dozens of ways to skin a cat, I’m not sure if this is optimized as the subquery methods, but it should work.
