More than 1 "LEFT OUTER JOIN"

28 New Member
I have a query that currently pulls data from a main table and a second table using LEFT OUTER JOIN. I know how to do make another LEFT OUTER JOIN with the main table, but I want to add another LEFT OUTER JOIN to the second table. So I want the third table to be joined through the second table, not the main table.

Here is my original code that joins the main table and the second table

SELECT t1.supply,
t2.inventory,
FROM MAIN_TABLE t1
LEFT OUTER JOIN TABLE2 t2
ON t1.supply = t2.supply

I want to add another "LEFT OUTER JOIN" that joins table2 and table3 like this:


SELECT t1.supply,
t2.inventory,
t3.description
FROM MAIN_TABLE t1
LEFT OUTER JOIN TABLE2 t2
ON t1.supply = t2.supply
LEFT OUTER JOIN TABLE3 t3
ON t2.inventory = t3.inventory

But I keep getting errors. Could someone please point me in the right direction?

Thanks!

How can you left join 3 tables with 2 different ID’s?
Point what is the error it’s showing.

I have a SQL query I'm invoking via VB6 & ADO 2.8, that requires three "Left Outer Joins" in order to return every transaction for a specific set of criteria. Using three "Left Outer Joins" slows the system down considerably. I've tried creating a temp db, but I can't figure out how to execute two select commands. (It throws the exception "The column prefix 'tempdb' does not match with a table name or alias name used in the query.")

Hello everybody, I have the following question. As a join clause on Oracle we use " table1.field1 = table2.field1 (+) " On SQL Server we use " table1.field1 *= table2.field1 " Does DB2 have the same type of operator, without using the OUTER JOIN syntax ?

I'm using postgresl 7.3.2 and have a query that executes very slowly. There are 2 tables: Item and LogEvent. ItemID (an int4) is the primary key of Item, and is also a field in LogEvent. Some ItemIDs in LogEvent do not correspond to ItemIDs in Item, and periodically we need to purge the non-matching ItemIDs from LogEvent. The query is: delete from LogEvent where EventType != 'i' and ItemID in

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
