To whom it may concern:
The following selection criteria causes my box to start a process that gives no result.
SELECT P.Last_Name, P.First_Name, S.Status, S.Entry_Year, S.Graduation_Year, S.Former_School, S.Day_or_Board,
S.Admissions_Id,P.Participant_Id, P.Birthday, P.Modification_Date
FROM Participants P, Students S
WHERE Participant.Participant_Id = Students.Participant_Id
It also throws the linux box into a process that has to be killed even though I've exited the client.
I found the problem to be the non-use of the alias after the WHERE clause If I rerun this as below without the full
tablename and using the alias it works. Is this a normal occurrence. Other systems I have used work either way.
SELECT P.Last_Name, P.First_Name, S.Status, S.Entry_Year, S.Graduation_Year, S.Former_School, S.Day_or_Board,
S.Admissions_Id,P.Participant_Id, P.Birthday, P.Modification_Date
FROM Participants P, Students S
WHERE P.Participant_Id = S.Participant_Id
