This is just a simple join between Table1.Column2 and Table2.ID. Give it a try. If you don't understand it, look up "Joins" in Books Online (the "help" system in Sql Server... press the {f1} key in SSMS to get there).

RBAR is pronounced "ree-bar" and is a "Modenism" for Row-By-Agonizing-Row.
First step towards the paradigm shift of writing Set Based code:
________Stop thinking about what you want to do to a ROW... think, instead, of what you want to do to a COLUMN.

Change is inevitable... Change for the better is not.

Try this:

SELECT T1.Col1, T1.Col2, T2.Val

FROM table1 T1

INNER JOIN table2 T2 on T1.col2 = T2.ID

select a.Col1, a.Col2, b.Val from table2 as b

inner join table1 as a

on a.col1=b.ID

the above one is the final structure of table... sorry about my confusion

You'll need to join the seond table twice to the first table, like:select

table1.col1

, table2_a.val

, table2_b.val

from table1

inner join table2 as table2_a

on table1.col2 = table2_a.id

inner join table2 as table2_b

on table1.col3 = table2_b.id

The table2 has given alternate names to be distinctive in both JOINs and the SELECT.

Getting error message: conversion failed when converting _A to int

Getting error message: conversion failed when converting _A to int

Then you'll need to cast the columns to the same type. I don't know how the column type is defined, so below are both columns in each JOIN explicitly declared:select

table1.col1

, table2_a.val

, table2_b.val

from table1

inner join table2 as table2_a

on cast(table1.col2 as varchar(2)) = cast(table2_a.id as varchar(2))

inner join table2 as table2_b

on cast(table1.col3 as varchar(2)) = cast(table2_a.id as varchar(2))

The table2 has given alternate names to be distinctive in both JOINs and the SELECT.
