SQL View between two tables

Question

I have two tables in my database that I would like to create a view that contains all the information. One of the table holds details of each order, and the other table holds the general stuff of those orders.

Here is the details of the tables:

OrderRecords_table

OrderID|CustomerCode|Customer|Address|PickupLocation|TotalPrice|CreateTime
C00001 |AB001       |ABC Co. |CA     | Store        |5         |2015-01-01 
C00002 |BC002       |BC Co.  |CA     | store        |5.5       |2015-01-01 

OrderDetails_table

OrderID|Company|ItemName|Amount|unitPrice|CreateTime         
C00001 |ABC Co.|apple   |1     |2        |2015-01-01 01:01:01
C00001 |ABC Co.|Orange  |3     |3        |2015-01-01 01:01:01
C00002 |BC Co. |candy   |5     |1        |2015-01-01 03:01:01
C00002 |BC Co. |pan     |1     |2        |2015-01-01 03:01:01
C00002 |BC Co. |ruler   |2     |2.5      |2015-01-01 03:01:01

Something like this, so on OrderRecords, orderID is unique, and orderDetails has a record for each item.

Right now I am creating a method that would need details from both tables, and it would be really confusing if I try to Select item each time across table, and I would like to create a view that contains details of both table.

I want it to be something as follow:

View V

OrderID|Company|CustomerCode|Address|ItemName|Amount|UnitPrice|CreateTime
C00001 |ABC Co.|AB001       |CA     |apple   |1     |2        |2015-01-01
C00001 |ABC Co.|AB001       |CA     |orange  |3     |3        |2015-01-01
C00002 |BC Co. |BC002       |CA     |candy   |5     |1        |2015-01-01
C00002 |BC Co. |BC002       |CA     |pan     |1     |2        |2015-01-01
C00002 |BC Co. |BC002       |CA     |ruler   |2     |2.5      |2015-01-01

What would the best way be to create such view? Thanks

You could use a join:

CREATE VIEW v AS
SELECT orec.OrderID, 
       od.Company,
       orec.CustomerCode,
       orec.Address,
       od.ItemName,
       od.Amount,
       od.unitPrice,
       od.CreateTime
FROM   OrderRecords orec
JOIN   OrderDetails od ON orec.OrderId = od.OrderId
