Re: inner join SQL

Try an LEFT OUTER JOIN...
SELECT *
FROM (SELECT ACCT,BRCH,TYC,YRM,FLAG
FROM FILE2) T2
LEFT OUTER JOIN (SELECT ACCT, BRCH, TYC,
YRM,FLAG,POSITIVE,NEGATIVE
FROM FILE1) T1
ON T2.ACCT = T1.ACCT
AND T2.BRCH = T1.BRCH
AND T2.TYC = T1.TYC
AND T2.YRM = T1.YRM
AND (T2.POSITIVE = T1.POSITIVE) OR (T2.NEGATIVE = T1.NEGATIVE);

I am expecting to see my outfile from this SQL have all 5 records from file2 ( they match with file1 on the conditions above), but i am getting only 4records match.
Can someone tell me what need to be fixed in my SQL to get all 5 records. I am having troule with record for account 1234C.
For account 1234C I have two records and they both match to 1234C record in FILE1(if you see T2.positive = t1.POSITIVE AND T2.NEGATIVE = T1.NEGATIVE)
