Select Using Join

[Andrew21210]

Hello all. I have been asked to produce a report of all nodes with the following information being critical: Node name, class name and contact field. TDPs are to be excluded from this query. Now, I suck at doing joins so I need some help. This select would span the nodes table and the backups table. If anyone can help out, drinks are on me the file space name may be required as well but for now, the info above will suffice.

Not sure how you name your TDP nodes - something like this would work on some of my environments because we just suffix -TDP to the end of the node name:

select distinct(nodes.node_name),backups.class_name,nodes.contact from nodes,backups where nodes.node_name=backups.node_name and nodes.node_name not like '%TDP'

if you need to exclude tdp from the node info itself, then perhaps this would be more effective, but I'm only on a small test server at the moment:

select distinct(nodes.node_name),backups.class_name,nodes.contact from nodes,backups where nodes.node_name=backups.node_name and nodes.platform_name not like '%TDP%'
