This must be a simple one but cannot figure it out right now:-I want to select all the records from table 1 that match the WHERE clause.-I want to select all the records from table 2 that match the WHERE clause. The records from table 2 are less than the records from table 1. (not all customers will have a customercode of FEE20C)Here is the current select statement:select *from table1 t1(nolock)left outer jointable2 t2(nolock)on t1.customer = t2.customerwhere t1.customercode in ('FEE20') and -all customers t2.customercode in ('FEE20C') -only some have FEE20CThe select should select ALL the customers from table1. But, its only selecting the ones that have both FEE20 and FEE20C. I know this should be a simple query. What I would like it is to return all the customers and if the customer does not have a FEE20C record in table2, return null for those fields.Thanks Before Hand,Adiel |

Ok guys, I think I got it, let me know if you see something wrong with the statement:select *from table1 t1(nolock)left outer jointable2 t2(nolock)on t1.customer = t2.customer and t1.customercode in ('FEE20') and t2.customercode in (NULL, 'FEE20C')where t1.customercode in ('FEE20') |

Your solution seems unnecessary. In your first post, you say you want to return all customers from table1, yet you are filtering table1 with 'FEE20'. So which is it? ALL or FEE20?Tara KizerMicrosoft MVP for Windows Server System - SQL Serverhttp://weblogs.sqlteam.com/tarad/Database maintenance routines:http://weblogs.sqlteam.com/tarad/archive/2004/07/02/1705.aspx |

ALL or FEE20?Sorry, I meant to say "All customers from table1 that have FEE20". The second query I wrote above works, I just want to make sure it is correct... |
