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 | | +--------------+-------------+------+-----+---------+----------------+

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
