[solved] Deliberately setup a cross join?

[hespora]

Hi,


So I have a query resulting in a low number of rows, let's say 3:

[q1].[col1]
1
2
3

another similar query with a low number of rows as well:

[q2].[col2]
A
B
C
D

what I need to create in RS is the cross join of these two, so in this case, a query with 12 resulting rows:

[q1].[col1]   [q2].[col2]
1                 A
1                 B
1                 C
1                 D
2                 A
2                 B
2                 C
2                 D
3                 A
3                 B
3                 C
3                 D

How do I actually achieve that? Creating a join without a link results in an error message "XQE-V5-0018 - expression for 'filterExpression' is empty"

Add a dummy query item to both queries and join on that. For example, create a query item in query1 called Dummy and set the expression as some hard coded value like 'join'. Put the same query item in query2 and then use that column as the join.

Works beautifully, thanks!  :)
