How would i connect different tables with each other in vbnet2008 which ive connected by the database wizard ? im suffering from this problem for 4 days and i havent fixed it ..and o search over the net but they give me the solution by hard coded that are related with importing sql or oledb, i dont have any idea to the code , and i need to stick with this method cause my other member wouldn understand too if i do it alone...
and also i want to connect this table for the search purpose. I filter it by Name which is in my personal_informationtbl so the rest of the table must show the related information about the Name that ive searched.

so meaning if i just search by name it shows related information from the records not just from the personal_informationtbl but fill the other tables with the related information.,


sorry for the grammar im suck at this..

You relate two (or more) tables by having one or more columns in common. For example, a customer database would typically have a customer information table similar to

CUST_INFO
   Cust_ID
   Last_Name
   First_Name
   Address

where Cust_ID is a unique number generated by the app or the datbase system. Any other table that relates data to a customer would also contain a Cust_ID field. For example, an order table might look like

ORDER_INFO
    Order_No
    Cust_ID
    Order_Date
    Shipping_Date

If you had a query that required information from both tables you would use a join (implicit ot explicit) which refers to the requested fields and the field that relates the two tables. An explicit join looks like

select * from CUST_INFO inner join ORDER_INFO 
           on CUST_INFO.Cust_ID = ORDER_INFO.Cust_ID

An implicit join looks like

select * from  CUST_INFO,ORDER_INFO
         where CUST_INFO.Cust_ID = ORDER_INFO.Cust_ID

Using aliases can shorten the typing a little by

select * from  CUST_INFO As CI,ORDER_INFO As OI
         where CI.Cust_ID = OI.Cust_ID

A very good tutorial on joining SQL tables can be found here

tnx alot jim!.
