Query help

[icontatt]

Hey Guys!

I`m working on a prject and i don`t know if a query can handl it like i want it to.

i got 5 tables

1.: invoice

id	subject	amount
1	Invoice 1	10€
2	Invoice 2	20€

2.: productsinvoice

id	product	invoiceid (=invoice id)
1	Desk	1
2	Table	1

3.: incominginvoice

id	subject	amount
1	Invoice 2013-1	5€
2	Invoice 2013-2	2€

4.: productsincominginvoice

id	product	invoiceid (=incoming invoice id)
1	food	1
2	food	2

5. tax informations about table 1 and 2

id	prodid	IsIncomingInvoice(bool) (false -> invocie, true ->...)	taxinformation
1	1	false	xyz
2	1	false	abc

i want to join all information, so that i see every product, the products invoice subject and the tax informations.

i can easily (left f.a.) join 2 with 1
and also
join 4 with 3

sow at least i got to join the tax informations. 1 problem is, that there can be "n" taxinformations for the same product (i can overwork my taxinformations for a product and also need the old settings to be saved in the table)

so if i do a single join on prodid, i can`t differ with my "isincomminginvoice" if the prodID ist prodID of 2 or 4.

and this is the part i don`t know how to handl it.

is it posible to first select for example all invoices of 5, and joining with this selected table?
like using a filter....



pls give me tips

Which tax information do you want for a product - the last one entered to table?

Want to provide db for analysis? Follow instructions at bottom of my post.

That are just some information about how to tax the product. Which VAT and so on.
The main Problem is, that if i go:

SELECT productsinvoice
FROM 2
LEFT JOIN 5
ON 2.id = 5.prodid;

it joins all prodid with id's. thats clear to me. but i only what to join those, where 5.IsIncomingInvoice = false

I suspect will need to do selective query before joining. Queries can be joined to tables or other queries. So do a query that returns the desired tax records then join query to table.
