    I have two tables that are only somewhat related and would like to pull data from table 2 about the UserName in Table 1.

    Table1 has UserLogin and logged in.

    The User Login in looks like: Domain\UserName and varies in length 14-29 Characters

    The username is part of the employees name.

    Table 2 has employee information that I want to link to:

    EmployeeID, FName, LName, Phone etc…..

    you can do what some people call an exotic join...joins that are not T1.field = T2.field

    but things like :

    ON UserName = REPLACE(Userlogin,'\Domain','')

    or on char index/patindex

    ON (CHARINDEX(UserName , Userlogin) != 0)
