## What it does
**SQL Query Description**
==========================

### Overview

This SQL query retrieves data from two tables: `[Metals Header]` and `[RMSFILES#_MSPMLVPT]`. It performs an inner join on the `PartNo` column to combine rows from both tables based on matching values.

### Query Breakdown

#### SELECT Clause

The `SELECT` clause specifies the columns to be retrieved:

* `[Metals Header].PartNo`: The Part Number from the `[Metals Header]` table.
* `[Metals Header].PricePerLB`: The Price Per Pound of the material from the `[Metals Header]` table.
* `[RMSFILES#_MSPMLVPT].STDC1`: A standard value from the `[RMSFILES#_MSPMLVPT]` table.

#### FROM Clause

The `FROM` clause specifies the tables to be used:

* `[Metals Header]`: The primary table containing metadata about metals.
* `[RMSFILES#_MSPMLVPT]`: The secondary table containing data related to production and pricing.

#### INNER JOIN Clause

The `INNER JOIN` clause performs an inner join on the `PartNo` column to combine rows from both tables:

* Both tables must have a matching value in the `PartNo` column for the join to occur.
* Only rows with a match are included in the result set.

#### ON Clause

The `ON` clause specifies the condition for the join:

* The join is performed on the `PartNo` column, which is common to both tables.
* The matching value in each table must have the same data type (in this case, integers) for the join to work correctly.

### Result Set

The query returns a result set containing three columns:

| Part No | Price Per LB | STDC1 |
| --- | --- | --- |
|  |  |  |

This query is likely used to retrieve pricing information and standard values associated with specific metal parts. The exact meaning of the `STDC1` column depends on the context in which it is used, but it appears to be a static value returned from the `[RMSFILES#_MSPMLVPT]` table.
