  • Open the Music Collection1 database that you started in the previous lesson. On the Database toolbar, click the Relationships button. On the Relationships window, click the joining line between the Artists table and the MusicAlbums table to select it. On the main menu, click Relationships -> Edit Relationship.
  • No CROSS JOIN in MS Access. A nice example was given here in a previous blog post. How to work around a missing CROSS JOIN. Usually, missing support for CROSS JOIN can be emulated trivially using an INNER JOIN with a TRUE predicate as such: SELECT p1.name player1, p2.name player2 FROM player p1 JOIN player p2 ON 1 = 1.
  • Apr 16, 2018  SQL syntax varies among querying engines; for example, in Microsoft Access the query from the above example resembles the following: Pattern_Table.[Join_Field] = Color_Table.[Join_Field]; The path to the table is not used in Microsoft Access because the table is in a Microsoft Access.mdb file.

Tutorials, references, and examples are constantly reviewed to avoid errors, but we cannot warrant full correctness of all content.
  • Basically by selecting whether the Outer Join Query is left or right, we are letting Access know which table in the Join is going to display all the rows matching a given criteria, and which side will only display data corresponding to that chosen table.

ODBC supports the SQL-92 left, right, and full outer join syntax. The escape sequence for outer joins is

{ojouter-join}

For example, in tables with a one-to-many relationship, the left outer join displays all the records from the 'many' table. To set the type of outer join, follow these steps: Add the tables to the query design window.

where outer-join is

table-reference {LEFT | RIGHT | FULL} OUTER JOIN {table-reference | outer-join} ONsearch-condition

table-reference specifies a table name, and search-condition specifies the join condition between the table-references.

An outer join request must appear after the FROM keyword and before the WHERE clause (if one exists). For complete syntax information, see Outer Join Escape Sequence in Appendix C: SQL Grammar.

Outer

For example, the following SQL statements create the same result set that lists all customers and shows which has open orders. The first statement uses the escape-sequence syntax. The second statement uses the native syntax for Oracle and is not interoperable.

To determine the types of outer joins that a data source and driver support, an application calls SQLGetInfo with the SQL_OJ_CAPABILITIES flag. The types of outer joins that might be supported are left, right, full, or nested outer joins; outer joins in which the column names in the ON clause do not have the same order as their respective table names in the OUTER JOIN clause; inner joins in conjunction with outer joins; and outer joins using any ODBC comparison operator. If the SQL_OJ_CAPABILITIES information type returns 0, no outer join clause is supported.

Original query:

How do I convert the query above to make it compatible in Microsoft Access?

I am assuming:

I haven't dealt with the 'FULL' criteria before am I correctly converting the first query into a query compatible with Access?

Assuming there are not duplicate rows in AA and BB (i.e. all the same values), a full outer join is the equivalent of the union of a left join and a right join.

If there are duplicate rows (and you want to keep them), add WHERE AA.C_ID IS NULL at the end, or some other field that is only null if there is not corresponding record from AA.

EDIT:

See a similar approach here.

It recommends the more verbose, but more performant

However, this assumes that AA.C_ID and BB.C_ID are not null.

Full Outer Join Access Sql

I found that if the field names are the same in both tables they will need to be listed individually rather than using the * operator. Also, the second SELECT statement needs to reference the other table. Simply using the same SQL as the first and changing it to a RIGHT JOIN does not allow the inclusion of the rows in the BB table.
