Re: Joining to the same file twice

That really isn't your statement, is it Reeve?

CREATE TABLE ROB/MASTER (EMPNO CHAR (10 ) NOT NULL WITH DEFAULT, 
EMPNAME CHAR (25 ) NOT NULL WITH DEFAULT, CONSTRAINT EMPNO PRIMARY
KEY (EMPNO)) 

INSERT INTO ROB/MASTER VALUES('00001', 'Bubba')
INSERT INTO ROB/MASTER VALUES('00002', 'Jimmy')

CREATE TABLE ROB/ORDERS (ORDER# DEC (7 , 0) NOT NULL WITH DEFAULT, 
ACCOUNT DEC (7 , 0) NOT NULL WITH DEFAULT, SALES# CHAR (10 ) NOT 
NULL WITH DEFAULT, SERVICE# CHAR (10 ) NOT NULL WITH DEFAULT, 
CONSTRAINT SALES# FOREIGN KEY (SALES#) REFERENCES ROB/MASTER 
(EMPNO) ON DELETE RESTRICT ON UPDATE RESTRICT, CONSTRAINT SERVICE# 
FOREIGN KEY (SERVICE#) REFERENCES ROB/MASTER (EMPNO) ON DELETE 
RESTRICT ON UPDATE RESTRICT, CONSTRAINT ORDER# PRIMARY KEY (ORDER#))

INSERT INTO ROB/ORDERS VALUES(123, 456, '00001', '00002')

select account, a.empname as SalesGuy, b.empname as ServiceGuy
from orders 
 left outer join master a on orders.sales#=a.empno 
 left outer join master b on orders.service#=b.empno 


ACCOUNT   SALESGUY                   SERVICEGUY
    456   Bubba                      Jimmy 

I think you are missing the a and b.

Joining to the same file twice






I'm trying to join to a master file two times in the same record (once for 

the sale rep's name; one for the tech's name).  The application will be 
embedded SQL in an ILE RPG program.

I can solve the problem by creating a logical with renamed fields :( but 
I'm 
sure I've seen a way that doesn't require a external solution.

This way (below) works but SQL tells me my subquery has an unqualified 
correlation.  I don't know if that means the Programming Police will be 
after me or if it's an indication of a potential performance problem.  I 
could write a stored procedure but I think that's overkill.

select account,name,
(select sales    from master where empno=sales#),
(select service from master where empno=service#) from orders

thanks---
