Re: Re: Merging SQL Results

Ok I'm obviously not after making myself clear. Probably for the same reason you have no SQL samples in your answer ;-)
Basically what I want to do is display two tables beside each other. Thats it. So say I have two statements select name, address fom table1 where age > 20 and country = "Ireland" select name, address fom table1 where age > 20 and country = "Germany" instead of displaying two tables one above the other (as below) I'd like to merge them (as further below)

Ireland;
john;cork;21;
pat;dublin;22;
Eoin;galway;33;

Germany;
holger;stuttgart;21;
jens;berlin;22;
stefan;dresden;23;

Ireland;       Germany;
john ; cork   ; holger ; stuttgart ; 21 ;
pat  ; dublin ; jens   ; berlin    ; 22 ;
Eoin ; galway ;   --   ;   --      ; 33 ;

From my rather hazy recollection of SQL: `SELECT ir.name, ir.address, ge.name, ge.address, ir.age, ge.age FROM table1 AS ir OUTER JOIN table1 AS ge ON ir.age = ge.age WHERE ir.age > 20 AND (ir.country = 'Ireland' AND ge.country = 'Germany') OR (ge.country = 'Germany' AND ir.country IS NULL) OR (ir.country = 'Ireland' AND ge.country IS NULL)` [download] I haven't been able to test this, so please let me know if it works!

SELECT ir.name, ir.address, ge.name, ge.address, ir.age, ge.age
FROM table1 AS ir OUTER JOIN table1 AS ge ON ir.age = ge.age
WHERE ir.age > 20
AND (ir.country = 'Ireland' AND ge.country = 'Germany')
OR  (ge.country = 'Germany' AND ir.country IS NULL)
OR  (ir.country = 'Ireland' AND ge.country IS NULL)
