cartesian product on two tables

Time:05-12

I'm trying to create a result set of table names and column names. In table A I have the list of table names and in Table B I have the list of column names. Each table should have the full list of columns. So:

  • Table A
table_name
Table1
Table2
  • Table B
column_name
Column1
Column2
Column3

The result I want is:

table_name column_name
Table1 Column1
Table1 Column2
Table1 Column3
Table2 Column1
Table2 Column2
Table2 Column3

So I have select

select
        table_name
        column_name
from
        A
full outer join
        B
on
        A.TABLE_NAME = B.COLUMN_NAME

Which gives me:

table_name column_name
Table1
Table2
Column1
Column2
Column3

Close, but no cigar! How can I get my answer please?

Use this:

select A.table_name, B.column_name from A, B;
