Your question doesn't make a lot of sense and there are errors in the query you've posted. I think you need to join the table 'Unify' to 'JKS' in order to get the Desc value from it. With what you've posted that really is a guess and I can't do much more without some help from you. If you read the article in my signature about posting questions that will point you in the right direction.

Are you saying that you don't know how to join the tables?

Some consumable DDL, data would really help.

We're trying to help but we've got no idea what your tables look like. Please do as we've asked and provide some usable data.

This link, http://www.sqlservercentral.com/articles/Best+Practices/61537/ will show you how to generate sample data to post.

Are you actually saying you have visited this site 844 times and

you don't know how to JOIN two tables and concatenate a couple of fields?

i Know Joins, but wants to know the syntax to replace below query with value in another table..

+ISNULL(u.code,'')+' '

+ISNULL(u.code,'')+' '

+ISNULL(x.code,'')+' '

Where x is the alias of the joined table.

I'm 99% sure that this is not what you want. But it does demonstrate that you should provide sample data, DDL etc as already requested, because you do not appear able to write out your request in a way which anyone else can comprehend.

You're still not making a great deal of sense.

One thing is that the first '+' sign before the ISNULL will cause an error if there's nothing before it.
