help on comparing and modifying a resultset or table

HI everybody need help badly on the following

have to recordsets with the following with the following SQL

SELECT place, count(minus)as countminus
order by place
group by place

THE RESULT WOULD BE

PLACE countminus

ABC 10
DEF 50
HIJ 5
KLM 2
MNO 0

MY OTHER QUERY IS
SELECT plus, count(plus) as countplus
GROUP BY plus
ORDER BY plus

THE RESULT WOULD BE:

PLUS COUNTPLUS

ABC 10
DEF 20

my problem is i need to add another column to the first resultset (if possible) or create a table with the same field and values of the first result set with the additional column OF THE second resultset COUNTPLUS...

with this condition..

I need to loop with single row from the column PLACE on the first result set and compare it with the column PLUS on the second result set. if there is a value of the PLACE=PLUS get the corresponding value of the COLUMN COUNTPLUS AND WRITE it on the COUNTPLUS ON THE NEW TABLE.. ELSE THE VALUE IS 0 this i would do it up to the END OF FILE EOF...

THE RESULT WOULD BE THIS....

PLACE countminus COUNTPLUS

ABC 10 10
DEF 50 20
HIJ 5 0
KLM 2 0
MNO 0 0

Help me create a SQL Statement

I have a database that is far from being rational! I need to query the tables to get a hierarchy resultset.
Here is the structure:
levelOne
levelOne_A
levelTwo
levelThree
levelFour
my problem is that table levelOne_A and table levelTwo have data that are considered to fall underneath levelOne. However the data is far different from each other so I can not able merge both into one.
so the it should look like this:
levelOne
levelOne_A AND levelTwo
levelThree
levelFour

Any ideas how I can get my hierarchy structure?
Thanks for your help!

I am not following you at all. Are levelOne, levelOne_A, etc.,tables in your database? Are they columns in a table? Arethey pieces of data? Could you explain further? Can youprovide some data examples? And could you use a non-spaced font(like courier) to make sure the hierachy you need is accuratelyrepresented?
