Complicated Query - Too Complicated?

[westmich]

I have query below to determine everything in customers cart before preceeding to check-out. I've tried a few things and thought the best approach is to get everything in a single query, build a dataset, and then create filtered views of it as needed (ASP.NET).

The query works until I get a product with options and then it doesn't display the products with options. An earlier version displayed two for each one with options.

Please note the attached table structure.

Select OrderDetails.OrderDetailID, OrderDetails.ProductID, Products.ProductName, Products.ProductDescription, 
OrderDetails.Quantity, Products.UnitPrice, OptionDetails.CostAdjust, OptionDetails.OptionDetailName, Options.OptionName 
From OrderDetails Join Products On Products.ProductID = OrderDetails.ProductID 
Left Join OrderOptionDetails On OrderDetails.OrderDetailID = OrderOptionDetails.OrderDetailID 
Left Join OptionDetails On OptionDetails.OptionDetailID = OrderOptionDetails.OptionDetailID 
Left Join Options On Options.OptionID = OptionDetails.OptionID 
Where OrderDetails.OrderID = someValue;

it's probably your data

notice in your diagram how OrderDetails is not connected to Product

yet you are joining thos two in the first join

if the data is correct, the join will work, but since there is no pk/fk relationship between these two tables, whether the data is right is not controlled by the database
