Hi ,
i am using developer 2000 2.1,
i am getting this error when i have tried to use the joins.
please change this below sql query to work in report 2.1.
select distinct table1.t$mitm bandPartsRoutingMitm, table2.t$dsca task,trim(table1.t$tano ||' '||table2.t$dsca) Description,table3.task  from table1
join table2 on table1.t$cwoc = table2.t$cwoc
and table1.T$MITM='7366X55'
left outer join table3 on trim(table1.T$MITM)=table3.part
and trim(table3.t$srln$c)=  'Q444442'
and table3.Band='MMMT'
and  table3.task =trim(table1.t$tano ||' '||table2.t$dsca);
it is working fine in SQL developer.
please help me.
Thanks,

Hi, Sateesh,
Unless you post some sample data (CREATE TABLE and INSERT statements) for all the tables, and the results you want from that data, all I can do is guess at solutions.  Guessing is not a very good way to solve problems.
My best guess right now is:
SELECT DISTINCT
        tables_1_2.bandPartsRoutingMitm
,  tables_1_2.task
, tables_1_2.workCenterDescription
,       table3.task_3
FROM (  -- Begin in-line view tables_1_2
         SELECT  table1.t$mitm  bandPartsRoutingMitm
         ,      table2.t$dsca  task
         ,     TRIM (  table1.t$tano
                    || ' '
                    || table2.t$dsca
                    )  workCenterDescription
         FROM    table1
         ,       table2
         WHERE   table1.t$cwoc  = table2.t$cwoc
         AND     table1.T$MITM  = '7366X55'
        )   tables_1_2
,       table3
WHERE   table3.part                = TRIM (tables_1_2.bandPartsRoutingMitm
AND     TRIM (table3.t$srln$c (+))   =  'Q444442'
AND     table3.Band                = 'MMMT'
AND     table3.part                = '7366X55'
AND     table3.task                  = tables_1_2.workCenterDescription
is how this site is displaying the outer join indicator, a + sign inside  parentheses .
You can't really have a view with parameters, but you can do something almost as good: create a global temporary table to hold what would be the parameters, and join to that global temnporary table.
