Ok so if you need to to a join between two tables..
do you HAVE to define the relationships in SQL.. ?

I also assume that you do that with the DIAGRAM section of entreprise manager?

Example of a JOIN statement.

Code:

SELECT A.*, B.*
FROM Table1 A
INNER JOIN Table2 As B On (A.FieldName = B.FieldName)

Returns all fields and all records where Table1.FieldName's value equals Table2.FieldName's value.
