You use an inner join to combine two tables. A very good explanation of joins (inner and outer) with clear examples can be found here

sorry i can get your point , you want to show 3 columns in grid like this f_name + m_name + l_name in a single cell , ? and 2nd thing what i understand is that you want to show 3 columns of your grid in a combo in this way f_name + m_name + l_name ,
please rephrase you question.

Regards

As w says, the more info the better. It would help if you could tell us the table structures and (in English) what data you wan to display as in (for example)

I want to display the employee ID and name for every employee who has sold more than 8 cars in the given month (which would require a join of the employee table and the sales table).
