CREATE DATA testa
CREATE TABLE tablea (fld1 c(10), fld2 c(10))
CREATE TABLE tableb (fld1 c(10), fld3 c(10))

CLOSE ALL

CREATE DATA testb
CREATE CONNECTION connect1 CONNSTRING 'DRIVER={Microsoft Visual FoxPro Driver};' + ;
   'Exclusive=No;SourceType=DBC;SourceDB='+SYS(5)+SYS(2003)+'\TESTA.DBC'

CREATE SQL VIEW innersql REMOTE CONNECTION connect1 ;
   AS SELECT * ;
   FROM testa!tablea tablea JOIN testa!tableb tableb ;
   ON tableb.fld1 = tablea.fld1

CREATE SQL VIEW leftsql REMOTE CONNECTION connect1 ;
   AS SELECT * ;
   FROM testa!tablea tablea LEFT JOIN testa!tableb tableb ;
   ON tableb.fld1 = tablea.fld1

CREATE SQL VIEW rightsql REMOTE CONNECTION connect1 ;
   AS SELECT * ;
   FROM testa!tablea tablea RIGHT JOIN testa!tableb tableb ;
   ON tablea.fld1 = tableb.fld1

MODI VIEW innersql
MODI VIEW leftsql
MODI VIEW rightsql
