Records from two tables in different DB's

Question

I have two tables (in different DB's) that I need to build
results from. I want to return results from all records in table A
and when a matching record in table B is found, retrieve the value
of a sqlbit field. The catch is that there may or may not be any
records in Table B that match Table A, and there may be more than
one record in Table B, but always only one record for Table A.
Table A is [Order] (yes I know, a reserved word - not my
design) and Table B is tblOrderFollowup - here is my current SQL
statement:
****************BEGIN SQL*************************
SELECT o.StoreID AS xStore
, o.Time AS dCreated
, o.ID AS xPurchase
, c.FirstName AS sFirstName
, c.LastName AS sLastName
, c.Company AS sCompany
, c.ID AS xCustomer
, o.Type AS xType
, o.Closed AS bClosed
, o.Tax AS nTax
, fu.OrderID AS xFUOrder
, fu.bComplete AS xFUComplete
FROM [Order] o
INNER JOIN Customer c
ON o.CustomerID = c.ID
AND o.StoreID = c.StoreID
LEFT OUTER JOIN db2.dbo.tblOrderFollowup fu
ON o.ID = fu.OrderID
AND o.StoreID = fu.StoreID
WHERE o.StoreID IN ( #allowableStoreIDs# )
AND o.StoreID = <cfqueryparam cfsqltype="cf_sql_integer"
value="#FORM.StoreID#" />
AND o.Time >= <cfqueryparam
cfsqltype="cf_sql_timestamp"
value="#CreateODBCDateTime(StartOfDay(FORM.dFrom))#" />
AND o.Time <= <cfqueryparam
cfsqltype="cf_sql_timestamp"
value="#CreateODBCDateTime(EndOfDay(FORM.dTo))#" />
AND o.Closed = <cfqueryparam cfsqltype="cf_sql_bit"
value="1" />
ORDER BY o.Time DESC
***********END SQL**********************
The problem here is that when I have more than 1 record per
OrderID/StoreID pair in Table B, I get more than one result - I
only want one. I am guessing I need a sub query, but don't know how
to go about doing that at all ...

Answer 1

You say you want only one result. Do you know which one you
want?
By the way, your query is probably not giving you the right
answer. My experience is that if you do this:
select stuff
from table1 left join table2 on something
where table2.somefield = somevalue
you get the wrong answer. What I do instead is,
select stuff
from table1 left join
(select stuff from table2
where whatever) need_an_alias on somthing
