Agree no matches in your example  If you mean both columns on either then need a query like this or need to re-examine the data design       Select TableA Col1  TableA Col2  TableB Val     FROM TableA     INNER JOIN TableB           ON TableA Col1   TableB Col1 OR TableA Col2   TableB Col2            OR TableA Col2   TableB Col1 OR TableA Col1   TableB Col2

Below is the structure of SQL that you may write  You can do multiple joins by using  AND  or  OR    Select TableA Col1  TableA Col2  TableB Val FROM TableA   INNER JOIN TableB  ON TableA Col1   TableB Col1 OR TableA Col2   TableB Col2

tableB col1   tableA col1  OR tableB col2   tableA col1   OR tableB col1   tableA col2   OR tableB col1   tableA col2

The other queries are all going base on any ONE of the conditions qualifying and it will return a record    if you want to make sure the BOTH columns of table A are matched  you ll have to do something like     select        tA Col1        tA Col2        tB Val    from       TableA tA          join TableB tB             on    tA Col1   tB Col1 OR tA Col1   tB Col2               AND   tA Col2   tB Col1 OR tA Col2   tB Col2
