SQL Server - getting info from two tables - sql

Question

I'm having trouble creating a query which in my mind should be simple.
I have two tables (tblReviews and tblRating). Both these tables have a venueId and a userId.
I want to create a single query that will return the review and the rating using the same venueId and userId. is this possible or should I use two queries?
Thanks in advance

Answer 1

SELECT Rev.column_name, Rat.column_name
FROM dbo.tblReview AS Rev
FULL OUTER JOIN dbo.tblRating AS Rat
ON Rev.VenueId = Rat.VenueId
AND Rev.UserId = Rat.UserId;
If you want all for a specific user:
SELECT Rev.column_name, Rat.column_name
FROM dbo.tblReview AS Rev
FULL OUTER JOIN dbo.tblRating AS Rat
ON Rev.VenueId = Rat.VenueId
AND Rev.UserId = Rat.UserId
WHERE (Rev.UserId = #UserId OR Rat.UserId = #UserId);
If you want all for a specific venue:
SELECT Rev.column_name, Rat.column_name
FROM dbo.tblReview AS Rev
FULL OUTER JOIN dbo.tblRating AS Rat
ON Rev.VenueId = Rat.VenueId
AND Rev.UserId = Rat.UserId
WHERE (Rev.VenueId = #VenueId OR Rat.VenueId = #VenueId);

Answer 2

You can
Join both tables using these fields;
..or (SELECT first) UNION (SELECT second)

Answer 3

SELECT *
FROM tblReviews AS rev INNER JOIN
tblRating AS rat ON rev.venueid = rat.venueid AND rev.userid = rat.userid
This query returns the matching rows from each tables. You can use outer joins (LEFT OUTER JOIN, RIGHT OUTER JOIN, also FULL OUTER JOIN) if you want all records from first, second, or both table.

Answer 4

I don't know if you're asking this.
Try:
SELECT re.venueId, re.userId, re.review, ra.rating
FROM tblReviews re INNER JOIN tblRating ra
ON re.venueId = ra.venueId AND re.userId = ra.userId
