i want to display data for each branch refdet.refbr = brdet.brn
refdet

refdt----------refbr----refamt----refcat-----trdt---------brn-----brtot-----------brcat
10-aug-09---10-----34234-----101a-------11-aug09--10-----454000-------A

10-aug-009--11----23245-----102a -------09-aug-09-11-----550000-------B
Br12
19-aug-09-12-----10000-------103B------09-aug-09----12-----550000-------B
i tried the following query but its not working
select distinct null as refdt,null as refbr,null as refamt,null as refcat,b.trdt,b.brn,b.brtot,b.brcat
from brdet a,refdet b
where a.refbr (+) = b.brn
union all
select distinct a.refdt,a.refbr,a.refamt,a.refcat,null as trdt,null as brn,null as brtot,null as brcat
from brdet a,refdet b
where a.refbr = b.brn (+)
its not giving the records on each row for both side its creating separte rows for each records in both table.

Hi jytohi,
Please lean back for a moment and study your question. Ask yourself, is this a reasonable way to ask a question?
Jopefully you'll reach the answer, "No it isn't, I need to.."
1. Turn these
1)
refdt----------refbr----refamt----refcat
2) brdet
trdt---------brn-----brtot-----------brcatinto CREATE TABLE statements.
2. Turn these
10-aug-09---10-----34234-----101a
10-aug-009--11----23245-----102a
1-AUG-09----10----455.98----104A
19-aug-09-12-----10000-------103B

30-sep-09--10-----430000------A

Br12
19-aug-09-12-----10000-------103B------09-aug-09----12-----550000-------Binto properly formatted expected output, along with a reasonable explanation of why
4. Turn this
select distinct null as refdt,null as refbr,null as refamt,null as refcat,b.trdt,b.brn,b.brtot,b.brcat
from brdet a,refdet b
where a.refbr (+) = b.brn
union all
select distinct a.refdt,a.refbr,a.refamt,a.refcat,null as trdt,null as brn,null as brtot,null as brcat
from brdet a,refdet b
where a.refbr = b.brn (+)into a properly formatted query
And last, put everything in into curly brackets {noformat}{noformat} to preserve formatting and blank space.
Best regards
