Re: SQL - 2 Result sets, 1 Cursor

My solution would be similar to Vernon's, but I think it avoids re-running
the first query:

WITH tempa AS (SELECT itmkey, itmnam, itmtyp FROM itm)
SELECT A.*, B.cmtkey, B.cmttext FROM tempa A INNER JOIN cmt B
ON B.cmtitm=A.itmkey
ORDER BY A.itmkey (if you like)

I think this should return a result set with colums:
itmkey, itmnam, itmtyp, cmtkey, cmttext
