I need help in constructing a VIEW on 4 tables. The view should contain coloumns:

ER.ID, ER.EMPID, ER.CUSTID, ER.STATUS, ER.DATEREPORTED, ER.REPORT, EB.NAME, CR.CUSTNAME, CR.LOCID, CL.LOCNAME, DI.DEPTNAME

ALIASES EMP_REPORT ER , EMP_BIO EB, CUST_RECORD CR, CUST_LOC CL, DEPT_ID DI

THE DATA MODELS ARE:

describe EMP_REPORT; +--------------+-------------+------+-----+---------+----------------+ | Field | Type | Null | Key | Default | Extra | +--------------+-------------+------+-----+---------+----------------+ | id | int(11) | NO | PRI | NULL | auto_increment | | empid | int(11) | NO | | NULL | | | custid | int(11) | NO | | NULL | | | status | varchar(32) | NO | | NULL | | | datereported | bigint(20) | NO | | NULL | | | report | text | YES | | NULL | | +--------------+-------------+------+-----+---------+----------------+

describe EMP_BIO; +--------+-------------+------+-----+---------+-------+ | Field | Type | Null | Key | Default | Extra | +--------+-------------+------+-----+---------+-------+ | empid | int(11) | NO | PRI | NULL | | | name | varchar(56) | NO | | NULL | | | sex | char(1) | NO | | NULL | | | deptid | int(11) | NO | | NULL | | | email | varchar(32) | NO | | NULL | | | mobile | bigint(20) | YES | | NULL | | | gtlk | varchar(32) | YES | | NULL | | | skype | varchar(32) | YES | | NULL | | | cvid | int(11) | YES | | NULL | | +--------+-------------+------+-----+---------+-------+

describe CUST_RECORD; +----------+--------------+------+-----+---------+----------------+ | Field | Type | Null | Key | Default | Extra | +----------+--------------+------+-----+---------+----------------+ | custid | int(11) | NO | PRI | NULL | auto_increment | | custname | varchar(32) | NO | | NULL | | | address | varchar(255) | YES | | NULL | | | contactp | varchar(32) | YES | | NULL | | | mobile | bigint(20) | YES | | NULL | | | locid | int(11) | NO | | NULL | | | remarks | text | YES | | NULL | | | date | int(11) | YES | | NULL | | | addedby | int(11) | YES | | NULL | | +----------+--------------+------+-----+---------+----------------+

describe CUST_LOC; +---------+-------------+------+-----+---------+-------+ | Field | Type | Null | Key | Default | Extra | +---------+-------------+------+-----+---------+-------+ | locid | int(11) | NO | PRI | 0 | | | locname | varchar(32) | NO | | NULL | | +---------+-------------+------+-----+---------+-------+

describe DEPT_ID; +----------+-------------+------+-----+---------+-------+ | Field | Type | Null | Key | Default | Extra | +----------+-------------+------+-----+---------+-------+ | deptid | int(11) | NO | | NULL | | | deptname | varchar(32) | YES | | NULL | | +----------+-------------+------+-----+---------+-------+

The table EMP_REPORT contains reports submitted by employees, all the coloumns in it needs to be fetched. The empid in this table should be used to fetch corresponding name in EMP_BIO (employee biodata) table. The custid in EMP_REPORT should be used to fetch corresponding locid in CUST_RECORD(customer record) which is used to fetch locname in CUST_LOC(customer location) table. The empid in EMP_REPORT is used to fetch corresponding deptid in EMP_BIO table which is then used to fetch corresponding deptname from DEPT_ID(department id) table.

I tried constructing view using union of different select queries, but dint get proper results. Please help me.

Thanks in advance.

PS: sorry for my poor english
