I think I stated in my previous post but in order to make your view consistent with your original query I think you should do:
CREATE OR REPLACE VIEW even AS SELECT DISTINCT abo_his.klantnummer, abo_his.artikelnummer, abo_his.code_retour, abo_klt.aantal_abonnementen, abo_klt.afgewerkt FROM abo_his JOIN abo_klt ON abo_his.klantnummer = abo_klt.klantnummer WHERE abo_klt.abonnement = 238 // I CHANGED THIS LINE ORDER BY abo_his.klantnummer, abo_his.artikelnummer, abo_his.code_retour, abo_klt.aantal_abonnementen, abo_klt.afgewerkt; It should not be WHERE abo_his.abonnement = 238 Unless you expect abo_his.abonnement always equal to abo_klt.abonnement > Hi Tom, > > [EMAIL PROTECTED] schreef: >> "Joost Kraaijeveld" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> writes: >>> CREATE OR REPLACE VIEW even AS >>> SELECT DISTINCT abo_his.klantnummer, >> abo_his.artikelnummer, abo_his.code_retour, >> abo_klt.aantal_abonnementen, abo_klt.afgewerkt >>> FROM abo_his >>> JOIN abo_klt ON abo_his.klantnummer = abo_klt.klantnummer >>> WHERE abo_his.abonnement = 238 >>> ORDER BY abo_his.klantnummer, abo_his.artikelnummer, >> abo_his.code_retour, abo_klt.aantal_abonnementen, abo_klt.afgewerkt; >> >> Okay ... but the view is constraining abo_his.abonnement and >> outputting abo_klt.aantal_abonnementen.
