Re: Problems with joining two table

you need a sql book: you sumarized your question so well, you can find the
answer in any sql book in a minute, literally:

select 
a.some, a.someelse, a.reference, 
b.referee, b.somesome, b.somesomeelse 
from tableA a, tableB b 
where b.referee = a.refference   
hope helps.
