Hi SQL Gurus,
How do I join two tables with additional restrictions? Here is the scenario:
There is First Table that has two columnsProductID and ProductName.

ProductID ProductName
1 P1
2 P2

The second Table has 4 columns :
MaterialID ProductID MaterialName Status
M1                 1                       MName 1                         Pass
M2               1                      MName2                           Pass
M3              1                      MName3                            Pass

Join the table Product and Material on ProductID. However, join the last row with if Status for each row is Pass. If the Status of any or all row is Fail, then join with the row that has Fail at first.
Can I have a query please?

Before even going to the solution you have to make sure that you have to have a sorting (order by) criteria to get consistency in getting first or last row. Not going to give you a complete SQL statement but to solve this problem you can use RANK.

See below:

Use this. Rownumber will assign each row a value and rank will assign 1 as fail 2 as pass.

SELECT P.PRODUCT_ID,
P.PRODUCT_NAME,
M.MATERIAL_ID,
M.PRODUCT_ID,
M.MATERIALNAME,
M.STATUS
FROM PRODUCT_TABLE P
JOIN
(
SELECT MATERIAL_ID,
PRODUCT_ID,
MATERIALNAME,
[STATUS],
RANK() OVER(PARTITION BY PRODUCT_ID ORDER BY [STATUS]) AS STATUS_COLUMN
FROM MATERIAL_TABLE
) M ON P.PRODUCT_ID = M.PRODUCT_ID
WHERE M.STATUS_COLUMN = 1

This questions fits best on StackOverflow.
I am surprised that somebody helped/answered the question in this site.

Thanks pidiiit .

Add this
And where M.MATERIALNAME=Mname3

Thanks Dev_,

My situation is I don't know the value of both tables and there could be thousands of records in both tables. The above table is just for example.

Join the table Product and Material on ProductID. However, join the last row with if Status for each row is Pass. If the Status of any or all row is Fail, then join with the row that has Fail at first.
Can I have a query please?

check your inbox msg. I sent you the query

Thanks pidiiit.
I got the query and it worked.
