I'm trying to join Table1 and Table2 on the Url fields. However all the Urls in Table2 end with a "/" as per the example below:
**Table1**
╔═════════════════════╗
║ Url1 ║
╠═════════════════════╣
║ http://site1.com ║
║ http://site2.com ║
║ http://site3.com ║
║ http://site4.com ║
║ http://site5.com ║
╚═════════════════════╝
**Table2**
╔═════════════════════╗
║ Url2 ║
╠═════════════════════╣
║ http://site1.com/ ║
║ http://site2.com/ ║
║ http://site3.com/ ║
║ http://site4.com/ ║
║ http://site5.com/ ║
╚═════════════════════╝
I'm using a SUBSTRING to remove the final character from the Url2 field. This is what my query looks like:
SELECT Table1.Url1,
SUBSTRING(Table2.Url2, 1, LEN(Table2.Url2) - 1) AS Urlx
FROM Table2
LEFT JOIN Table1 ON Urlx = Table1.Url1
However I cannot get the **Urlx** field in the LEFT JOIN clause to resolve.
Is it possible to join tables on a manipulated field or have I constructed my query incorrectly?
