Since the first table had one record with a delivery of 00835308 and the second had none, I would have expected the SQL to return one record. What I got was two records that are the same.
The code I have placed here.. shows the problem, but the WHERE was added to show why my query is failling with a PK failure.... and the Insert Into was removed.
Either the first or second table has two rows with that value based on the query you posted.
I would suggest that you change the datatype at least in your temp table to an int.
select *
FROM #Delivery Left Outer JOIN
details_2 ON cast(#Delivery.Delivery as int) = cast(details_2.Delivery_Doc as int) AND
cast(#Delivery.Delivery_Item as int) = cast(details_2.Delivery_Item as int)
Where cast(delivery as int) = 83535308
Based on that query every row has to have a value that is directly castable to an int. Save yourself the hassles and just change the datatype.
