Can i select Records from two tables into an itab.

Question

Hi,
    Suppose that i have two tables spfli and sflight.
    Now i want the records from both the tables into a single internal table.
    If so please let me know how this can be done.
    itab should consist of all the columns in sflight and spfli.

Sai,
Yes u can do it using JOINs.
Use this link for ref
http://www.sap-img.com/abap/inner-joins.htm
INNER JOIN results are an intersection of the tables being joined where in only if both the tables havethe data the result is pused onto the result set.
WHERE as in LEFT OUTR JOIN you can push the data of the LEF T table on the resultset even when the join condition is not met.
The use is that you wantto have all the data that is there in left table and also the right table if the join condition is a success then right table fileds will have data else they are initial.
OUTJOIN's are used in MAINTENANNCE VIEWS, HELP VIEWS .
INNER JOINS are used DATABSE VIEWS.
Inner Join:-
SELECT pcarrid pconnid ffldate bbookid
INTO CORRESPONDING FIELDS OF TABLE itab
FROM ( ( spfli AS p
INNER JOIN sflight AS f ON pcarrid = fcarrid AND
pconnid = fconnid )
INNER JOIN sbook AS b ON bcarrid = fcarrid AND
bconnid = fconnid AND
bfldate = ffldate )
WHERE p~cityfrom = 'FRANKFURT' AND
p~cityto = 'NEW YORK' AND
fseatsmax > fseatsocc.
Left Outer Join
SELECT scarrid scarrname p~connid
INTO CORRESPONDING FIELDS OF TABLE itab
FROM scarr AS s
LEFT OUTER JOIN spfli AS p ON scarrid = pcarrid AND
p~cityfrom = 'FRANKFURT'.
