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

### Overview

This SQL query retrieves data from multiple tables in a database and performs joins to combine the results. It returns a distinct row for each unique combination of `PartNumber` and `OpCode`, along with other relevant information.

### Query Breakdown

The query consists of three main parts:

1. **SELECT Statement**
   ```sql
SELECT DISTINCTROW [PemPress Ops].*, 
                [PemPress Studs].Studsize, 
                [PemPress Work Centers].WC2, 
                [PemPress Work Centers].WC3, 
                [PemPress Work Centers].WC4, 
                IIf([automanual]="AUTO",[Punchauto],[punchman]) AS Punch, 
                IIf([automanual]="AUTO",[AnvilAuto],[AnvilMan]) AS Anvil
```
   This selects all columns (`*`) from the `PemPress Ops` table, along with specific columns and two calculated fields:

   * `Studsize` from the `PemPress Studs` table.
   * Four work center fields (`WC2`, `WC3`, `WC4`) from the `PemPress Work Centers` table.
   * A binary logic field `Anvil` based on the value of `[automanual]`.
   * Another binary logic field `Punch` based on the same condition.

2. **JOIN Statements**
   ```sql
FROM (([PemPress Ops] LEFT JOIN [PemPress Studs] ON [PemPress Ops].PemNumber = [PemPress Studs].PemNumber)
      LEFT JOIN [PemPress Work Centers] ON [PemPress Ops].AutoManual = [PemPress Work Centers].Type)
      LEFT JOIN PemPressTooling ON [PemPress Studs].Studsize = PemPressTooling.StudSize
```
   The query performs three left joins:

   * First, it combines data from `PemPress Ops` and `PemPress Studs` tables on the `PemNumber` column.
   * Second, it combines the result with the data from `PemPress Work Centers` table on the `AutoManual` column (which matches the `Type` field in the previous join).
   * Third, it joins this result with the `PemPressTooling` table based on the `Studsize` field.

3. **ORDER BY Clause**
   ```sql
ORDER BY [PemPress Ops].PartNumber, 
        [PemPress Ops].OpCode;
```
   Finally, the query sorts the results in ascending order by the values of `PartNumber` and `OpCode`.

### Purpose

The purpose of this query appears to be data consolidation and preparation for further analysis or reporting. It combines information from multiple tables based on various conditions and joins, providing a comprehensive view of the relationships between different entities within the database.

### Limitations

This query may have limitations due to its use of `DISTINCTROW` and multiple left joins, which could impact performance, especially if dealing with large datasets. Additionally, the use of conditional logic (`IIf`) might lead to inconsistencies or errors if not validated properly.
