You haven't provided enough information for us to help you. Whether or not it's an inner join or not is dependent upon your data requirement.

So what problem are you trying to solve? Give us a description, sample data, and expected output.

I...Don't Know

"What She Said"

Try this




		 SELECT	  e.Employee_Name
				, p.Project_Name
		   FROM   EmployeesTable e
FULL OUTER JOIN   ProjectTable   p
			 ON   p.Project_Number = e.Employee_Number
