Hi,
I think a got it. Just try :
SELECT DISTINCT t.ID, (SELECT SUM(amount) FROM Table1 WHERE ID = t.ID), (SELECT SUM(amount) FROM Table2 WHERE
ID= t.ID)
FROM Table1 AS t
UNION
SELECT DISTINCT t.ID, (SELECT SUM(amount) FROM Table1 WHERE ID = t.ID), (SELECT SUM(amount) FROM Table2 WHERE
ID= t.ID)
FROM Table2 AS t;
There are in fact two queries : one scaning for the ID's from Table1
and the other from Table2 in order to calcutate the sums for ALL the
ID's.
For each scaned ID, it calculates the corresponding sum in each of the
two tables. If the ID doesn't exist in one table, the sum return a
Null value, but doesn't affect the other.
I hope this query is what you are looking for.
