Hello all,__New to version 10. I am trying to use a SQL command that uses FULL OUTER Join, any reason why this fails ? __ ____ __ __kfleming __Charter Member__1834 posts Mar-28-03, 03:13 PM (EST) __ __1.

The problem is in the interface layer that R&R uses to communicate with the ODBC driver. Although the driver understands full outer joins, R&R balks at FULL OUTER JOIN as an unknown.__Right now the only way around this would be to create a view in SQL that does the SELECT and then have R&R report on that view or to implement the join as two UNION^ed SELECTS one for the left join and one for the right.____R&R^s user SQL however will not allow you to create a view from the R&R side. You would need to use the SQL Query Analyzer or some other tool to create the view.____Kathleen__R&R Support
