To whom it may concern, The following select works fine until I use the CREATE TEMP TABLE AS command because of the matching participant_id's in each table.
SELECT * FROM addresses LEFT OUTER JOIN contacts ON contacts.participant_id = addresses.participant_id; Running the select obviously works fine, it's just when I try to create a table when I runn into problems. Do I have to list all of the fields except the one I don't want, or is there another way? Thanks in advance.
