Re: Basic SQL join question

Here's an example using aggregates that's sort of close...

SELECT (SELECT COUNT(id) FROM cb_person_plan_enroll WHERE person_id = 72) AS
STDPLANS, (SELECT COUNT(id) FROM cb_person_pog_enroll WHERE person_id = 72)
AS POGPLANS, (SELECT COUNT(id) FROM cb_person_grp_enroll WHERE person_id =
72) AS GRPPLANS;

The problem is that if you dont need an aggregate and the tables nothing in
common to join on... you really can't go around joining them if there's
nothing to join....

Now -- if you were to create a cursor and select into it from the tables in
question... you might get somewhere...
