Hello guys,
I have this 5 tables:

CPU: BRAND, MODEL, ID_CPU, SOCKET, TYPE, WARRANTY, SOLD AND CHECKOUT

DISK: BRAND, MODEL, ID_DISK, STORAGE, TYPE, DIMENSIONS, WEIGHT, WARRANTY, SOLD AND CHECKOUT

DESKTOP: BRAND, MODEL, ID_DESKTOP, MOTHERBOARD, CPU, GRAPHICS, MEMORY, STORAGE, POWERSUPPLY, OS, DIMENSIONS, WEIGHT, WARRANTY, SOLD AND CHECKOUT

NOTEBOOK: BRAND, MODEL, ID_NOTEBOOK, MOTHERBOARD, CPU, GRAPHICS, MEMORY, STORAGE, POWERSUPPLY, OS, DIMENSIONS, WEIGHT, WARRANTY, SOLD AND CHECKOUT

RAM: BRAND, MODEL, ID_RAM, MEMORY, TYPE, DIMENSIONS, WEIGHT, WARRANTY, SOLD AND CHECKOUT

And I want to select all this information from all 5 tables but filtering by CHECKOUT, meaning this value is either 0 our 1 and show on checkout table.

PS: I'm using ACCESS DATABASE. It's a school project.

What I have tried:

Tryied to use the string "SELECT * FROM CPU,RAM,NOTEBOOK,DESKTOP,DISK WHERE CHECKOUT = 1"

I have already answered this question - How do I filter from 5 diferent tables using one datagridview and tabcontrol[^]

You seriously need to change your database schema!

Because of your awful table design (see my previous response) you will need to use UNION[^]

SQL

SELECT * FROM CPU WHERE CHECKOUT = 1
UNION
SELECT * FROM RAM WHERE CHECKOUT = 1
UNION 
SELECT * FROM NOTEBOOK WHERE CHECKOUT = 1
UNION
SELECT * FROM DESKTOP WHERE CHECKOUT = 1
UNION
SELECT * FROM DISK WHERE CHECKOUT = 1

If you had followed my earlier advice then this would have been

SQL

SELECT * FROM Hardware WHERE CHECKOUT = 1
