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.
