Hello:

I would like to

SELECT * from table WHERE a.date = b.date and status = 'A'

but if a.date = b.date and status 'A' doesn't exist i want status 'P'.

Is there a function for this?

a_date b_date status

2008-07-27 00:00:00 2008-07-27 00:00:00 A
2008-07-27 00:00:00 2008-08-27 00:00:00 P
2008-06-27 00:00:00 2008-06-27 00:00:00 P

Thank You

F.
