Is it possible to do a 3 table join in MS-Access?
I try to do a 3-table join in Access and i开发者_C百科t will not work. Is it possible?
I once had a problem when I tried
select
x,
y
from
A inner join
B on k=l inner join
C on f=g
This didn't work. But it works with parantheses:
select
x,
y
from (
A inner join
B on k=l ) inner join
C on f=g
All the various types of multi-table joins that are available in other flavour of SQL are permitted in MS-Access/Jet. For example, here's a straight three-table hierarchical example (a bit more real-world than the other answers here):
SELECT
x.FirstName,
x.Surname,
r.RegionName,
c.CountryName
FROM
(Customer x LEFT JOIN Region r
ON r.ID=x.RegionID)
LEFT JOIN Country c
ON c.ID=r.CountryID
Or did you want to know how to do it using the Visual Designer in MS-Access?
Yes, it's possible:
Select *
From A, B, C
Where A.a = B.b
And A.c = C.c
or
Select *
From A, B, C
Where A.a = B.b
And B.c = C.c
Access can do most types of joins (apart from a full outer) I wonder with your 3 table join if you are doing an ambiguous outer join? Have a look at this KB article for an explanation
