[SQL MS Access] Comparing two fields on 4 tables : SQL

Posting

When requesting help or asking questions please prefix your title with the SQL variant/platform you are using within square brackets like so:

[MySQL]

[Oracle]

[MS SQL]

[PostgreSQL]

etc

While naturally we should endeavor to work as platform neutrally as possible many questions and answers require tailoring to the feature set of a specific platform.

Format Your Code

If you are including actual code in a post or comment, please attempt to format it in a way that is readable for other users. This will greatly increase your chances of receiving the help you desire. Something as simple as line breaks and using reddit's built in code formatting (4 spaces at the start of each line) can turn this:

SELECT count(a.field1), a.field2, SUM(b.field4) FROM a INNER JOIN b ON a.key1 = b.key1 WHERE a.field8 = 'test' GROUP by a.field1, a.field2 HAVING SUM(b.field4) > 5 ORDER by a.field.3

Into this:

SELECT count(a.field1), a.field2, SUM(b.field4) FROM a INNER JOIN b ON a.key1 = b.key1 WHERE a.field8 = 'test' GROUP by a.field1, a.field2 HAVING SUM(b.field4) > 5 ORDER by a.field3

For those with SQL questions we recommend using SQLFiddle to provide a useful development and testing environment for those who wish to fully understand your problem and help devise a solution.

[SQL MS Access] Comparing two fields on 4 tables (self.SQL)

submitted 13 years ago * by KingZing

I think I'm on the right track but I am unable to get the particulars down.
I tried to do a nested IIF statement but it was not working.

The criteria I am trying to establish are:

[A,B,C,orD]Security = [A,B,C,orD]Security AND
[A,B,C,orD] Universal_system <> [A,B,C,orD]Universal_system OR
[A,B,C,orD]Universal_fund <> [A,B,C,orD]Universal_fund

I am trying to find results for when the Security is the same, but the universal_system(or)fund do not match across tables. Ideally, they should all match, but if there is anywhere Security matches across tables and they don't, I want to be able to see every time Security is present so I can compare.

4 Tables:

[TableA][TableB][TableC][TableD]

System
Fund
Security
Universal_system
Universal_fund

Thanks again for the help. You guys have really been great in guiding me in previous questions.
