I have two tables I need to join but there are 2 fields which they
could be joined on.

Using the example Tablles, TableA and TableB below;

TableA
ID1 ID2 Qty
1 Null 4
2 A 5
Null B 6

TableB
ID1 ID2 Qty
Null A 6
3 B 6
4 Null 7
Null C 8

I want to create TableC which will look like this;
ID1 ID2 TableA.Qty Tableb>Qty
1 Null 4 Null
2 A 5 6
3 B 6 6
4 Null Null 7
Null C Null 8


Any ideas?

select coalesce(a.ID1,b.ID1),
coalesce(a.ID2,b.ID2),
a.Qty,
b.Qty
from TableA a
full outer join TableB b on a.ID1=b.ID1 or a.ID2=b.ID2

Try:

select
*
from
TableA a
join
TableB b on b.ID1 = a.ID1 and b.ID2 = a.ID2
