Multiple Joins

Hello,

I need to create a view which links 5 tables as follows:
I have a Header Table which is keyed on Product and Year which I want to join to a Detail Table which is keyed on Product and Year and Week. I want to see all of the rows from each table, which I think is a FULL OUTER JOIN.

I then have three subsidiary tables for Sales, Orders and Deliveries which are all keyed on Product and Year and Week - I want to join each of these tables separately to the Detail table above so that again I see all of the rows from the Detail Table, the Sales Table, the Orders Table and the Deliveries table. For any Product/YearWeek there may or may not be a row on any of the Sales, Order or Deliveries table, but there will not be any rows on these tables which are not on the Detail Table.

Can I do this in the FROM clause andnif so how, or do I need to do a series of separate SELECTs for the Sales, Orders & Deliveries table with UNION clauses.
Best regards
ColinIf there are no detail Product & Years which are not present in the Header table, then this sounds like a left outer join. The rest sound like inner joins.

If I'm understanding your intention, the following (untested) should work :

select h.*,
d.*,
s.*,
de.*
from Header h left outer join
Detail on h.product = d.product and h.year = d.year inner join
sales s on s.product = d.product and s.year = d.year and s.week = d.week inner join
Orders o on o.product = d.product and o.year = d.year and o.week = d.week inner join
Deliveries de on de.product = d.product and de.year = d.year and de.week = d.week

Perhaps I'm misunderstanding what you're wanting to see...
