Need help with a database view

I'm thinking this is not possible, because i'm hoping to get an outside join, but here we go. I'd like to create a join that shows all records in the cmdb_ci_facilities_hardware table and join with the cmdb_ci_ups_power_eq table. There is a reference field that both share (location) but that's about the only common field and to be honest it's not always filled. There's a common group in support_group that might also be used. I'm not sure how to write the "where clause" for this, though. Any suggestions? Thank you!

@Mike Foreman 

you should use single = and not == to compare

so where clause should be this

fac_location=pdu_location

4. here is the error message

Hi @Mike Foreman ,

Update the where clause

fac_location=pdu_location

 

if you want to add additional filters with support_gruoup, you can do that

(assuming backend name of support group is support_group in both the tables feel free to replace it if it's different)

 

fac_location=pdu_location && fac_support_group = pdu_support_group

 

Please mark my answer as helpful/correct if it resolves your query.
