I am hoping someone can help me understand why I am not getting the correct SQL join.
I have the following set up:
Table_1 Outer Join Table_2 1,n
Table_2 Outer Join Table_3 n,1
Table_2 Outer Join Table_4 n,1
Table_2 Outer Join Table_5 n,1
When I go an build a query choosing 1 field from tables 1, 3, 4, and 5. I would expect all of the tables to be joined like the following:
Table_1 LEFT OUTER JOIN Table_2
LEFT OUTER JOIN Table_3
LEFT OUTER JOIN Table_4
LEFT OUTER JOIN Table_5
Instead I am getting the following:
Table_3 RIGHT OUTER JOIN Table_2
LEFT OUTER JOIN Table_5
RIGHT OUTER JOIN Table_1
LEFT OUTER JOIN Table_4
Because of this RIGHT, LEFT, RIGHT, LEFT I am not getting all of the data I would expect on my report. I have tried altering the cardinality, but that has not helped me any.
This is coming from the Information Design Tool 4.1 SP6.
Thanks
