Hi gurus,
I have 3 tables and their fields as follows:
1) Buyers: BuyerID 2) Sellers: SellerID 3) BuyersSellers: BuyerID, SellerID, GoldorSilver
Where GoldorSilver contains either 'G' for Gold or 'S' for Silver.
The following query gives me all the buyers, which is what I want. But it also give me duplicate rows if a buyer buy both Gold AND Silver. If I want to reduce the number of rows (so that there aren't rows with similar BuyerID) but add extra columns (Gold column and Silver column), how do I write this query in Oracle SQL or ANSI99 SQL? Thank you in advance
select BuyerID, SellerID, GoldorSilver from Buyers, Sellers, BuyersSellers where Buyers.BuyerID=BuyersSellers.BuyerID(+) and Sellers.SellerID(+)=BuyersSellers.SellerID Received on Wed Jul 09 2003 - 15:06:19 CDT
