Hi Team,

I got exact results from Team for whatever i've posted,

Very Very thanks.

Here my requirement is :

I have two tables,

table 1 : Test1
ColA | Value
----------------------
A 100
C 300

Table 2 : Test2
ColA | Value
-----------------------
B 200
D 150

if Record "A" is available in table1 then add string to a variable

@string = A : 300

else search in the table 2

Next

search for B, it is not available in table 1, then get from table 2

@ string = A : 300, B 200

am using below query for searching in table 1, how to include table 2 for searching.

SELECT RTRIM(
+ 'ColA:'+ISNULL(ColA,'')+', '
+ ISNULL('ColB:'+CAST(ColB AS VARCHAR(10))+' ','')
+ ISNULL('ColC:'+CAST(ColC AS VARCHAR(10))+' ','')
+ ISNULL('ColD:'+CAST(ColD AS VARCHAR(10))+' ','')
)
FROM

Please help.........

am using below query for searching in table 1, how to include table 2 for searching.

you need to make JOIN with second table with first one.

Yes, Using joins..

First it need to check in table1, if value found then assign that values to a string,
if not found then only it should check in table2.

table 1 : Test1
ColA | Value
----------------------
A 100

Table 2 : Test2
ColA | Value
-----------------------
B 200

if COLA =A is available in Table1 then
COLA : A Value: 100

else
check in Table2, if available
COLA : A Value: 100

Query Please...
