Re: Help with a query, please

Dear Timo

SELECT (test1.i+test2.i) as sum, c as c
FROM test1,test2
WHERE tes1.c=test2.c

UNION

SELECT *
FROM test1,test2
WHERE ttest1.c != test2.c;

This in theory should give the answer you are looking for. Can work out
exact syntax and mail again in a couple of days.
