| The best way would be to do joins, so I am not clear why you want to avoid joins. Are you running into any problems? If you must avoid joins, you could use outer apply (but I think of it being sort of like a join): http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms175156(v=SQL.105).aspx |

| Try searching for "correlated subquery" that is another way to avoid a join for some reason. |
