sql statement writing

[questionit]

Hi

I have following SQL Queries. Is there a way to to write a single query instead somehow instead?

-Get OrderID from this query
SELECT OrderID FROM Orders WHERE CustomerID='" + reader.Item("Cu stomerID")


-Using OrderID, get ProductID
"SELECT ProductID FROM OrderDetails WHERE OrderID=" + readerp.Item("O rderID")

-Using ProductID, get Products
SELECT ProductName FROM Products WHERE ProductID=" + reader1.Item("P roductID")

My question is instead of quering three times, can i write a single SQL statemnt to get the final result - (ProductName)

Thanks

Hi

You should be able to join all 3 tables and use WHERE for all conditions. Is that not working for you? (Subqueries are an alternative)

I hope it helps

This should do exactly what you want:

SELECT Orders.OrderID, OrderDetails.Pr oductID, Products.Produc tName
FROM (OrderDetails INNER JOIN Orders ON OrderDetails.Or derID = Orders.OrderID) INNER JOIN Products ON OrderDetails.Pr oductID = Products.Produc tID;

Hope it helps,
