Hello,

I am new to sql, and I really need some help!

I have created this so far:

Select * from enc where EpsTyp ='BR'
Select * from entid

Now that returns me two seperate table results.... in the enc table i have a column named "PatSys" and in entid i have a column named "EntSys" I need to combine those two search results in one table ... or I need to delete all the columns that are not in both.

Maybe there is a way to run this so that it only pulls like columns from two seperate tables in one command I am not sure.


Thanks,
Allen

Please give table structure, sample data and wanted result.

Ok how do you need me to give structure? I can upload the two search results as a excel file if that what you need.

Basically what I am after if i need to eleminate all the entries in the second search result that were not in the first one... its just basically a way of searching the two tables and pull matching results.

do you mean this?


SELECT PatSys FROM enc where EpsTyp ='BR'
INTERSECT
SELECT EntSys FROM EntID


or this?


Select PatSys from enc e where EpsTyp ='BR'
and exists (Select 1 from entid where EntSys = e.PatSys )
