Retrieve value from another table based on a date

[Anonymous]

Hi,

I have 2 tables.

In table 1 (hours) I have a row with a hour_date column and an card_id column

In table 2 (salaries) I have a row with a start_date column, end_date column, salary_rate and a card_id column

Both tables have multiple rows with the same card_id.

  eg. card_id 1 can have multiple hours rows as they have worked several times a week.
  card_id 1 can have multiple salaries rows as they have a different salary at different dates

The goal is to have the right salary_rate in every hours row in table 1, obviously taken from table 2. Where the hour_date from table 1 should be same as or before the end_date from table 2.

I'd like the result to be put in table 1. That way, each row in table 1, has the correct salary_rate

I can't seem to figure out how.

try to add a column in this way:

I still have some doubts as to whether the start_date information from the salary table is not used.
