Re: Can I do this in SQL? How?

-- Get accounts with at least one of each
with T1 as (
select ACCT# from AcctTbl
where ACCT# in (select ACCT# from Conttbl)
and ACCT# in (select ACCT# from DistTbl)),

-- Create list of transactions
T2 as (
select 1 FileID, T1.ACCT#, CONTR$, 0 DIST$
from T1 join ContTbl on T1.ACCT# = ContTbl.ACCT#
union all
select 2 FileID, T1.ACCT#, 0 CONTR$, DIST$
from T1 join DistTbl on T1.ACCT# = DistTbl.ACCT#)

-- Now list the results
select ACCT#, CONTR$, DIST$ from T2
order by FileID

You may need a little tweaking to make sure the columns match in the two selects for the union in T2, but this is the general idea. I am a big fan of common table expressions. They work wonders.

I'm trying to select a list that looks like this:

Acct# Contr$ Dist$
00001 15.00
00001 28.00
00001 30.00
00005 10.00
00005 25.00


etc.

Select accts with at least one contribution and one distribution and list
them all. The contribution and distributions can be on the same line or
individual lines, but there's no matching of them. The selection will be
by date ranges also.

There are three separate tables that look something like these:

AcctTbl
Acct#

ContTbl
Acct#, Contr$, ContrDate

DistTbl
Acct#, Dist$, DistDate

I can figure out the where exists to select the accounts but how do I join
these together to get the details?

TIA
