Thread: join a lot of columns of two tables
Dear Postgres Users, I have 2 tables... each one has a column called ID (primary keys of each table) the values into each ID column are exactly the same. each table has a lot of other columns (around 50 for each table).... I would like to create a table containing the ID (only one column obviously) and all the other columns of both tables... a simple equi join for each column is simple but how can I join completely the two table on the bases of the column ID??? probably it is a simple question but I don't know how to solve this very simple problem quikly... :-( thanks Ivan -- Ti prego di cercare di non inviarmi files .doc, .xls, .ppt, .dwg.
