simple tables join

hi

 

I want to do a simple join of 3 tables who dont share any common field they just have the same number of rows. I have 

 

table 1=

a

b

c

 

table 2 = 

1

2

3

 

I want a table that would be 

table 3=

a,1

b,2

c,3

 

Im tagled with all the left/first inner/outer joins... I just want the two "stitched" together.

 

thnx

C

Hi @chronis69,

Assuming that they both are in the sorting you need.

Add an index colum to each table then make merge based on index of both tables.

Hi @chronis69 ,

 

This should be done in the query editor using the merge option:
