I have a simple select query, it involves 2 tables and for the life of me it won't work. If i run the same query with parameters it works just fine.


SELECT     fm_regional_manager.fieldman_number
		  ,fm_fieldman_master.last_name + ' ,' + fm_fieldman_master.first_name AS full_name

FROM         fm_regional_manager INNER JOIN
                      fm_fieldman_master ON fm_regional_manager.fieldman_number = fm_fieldman_master.fieldman_number

WHERE     (fm_regional_manager.regional_manager = NULL) AND (regional_status = 'I')

here are the tables I am using
From this table I should be returning 3 records,it is so simple I just can't see it.

Thanks for the help

SELECT fm_regional_manager.fieldman_number
,(fm_fieldman_master.last_name + ' ,' + fm_fieldman_master.first_name) AS full_name

FROM fm_regional_manager INNER JOIN
fm_fieldman_master ON fm_regional_manager.fieldman_number = fm_fieldman_master.fieldman_number

WHERE (fm_regional_manager.regional_manager IS NULL) AND (regional_status = 'I')

Try that. Also, what is the error?

NO error at all it just doesn't return any rows.

That worked, I have a dozen of them running like that why was that one different and need ()?

Are you sure that there are rows that satisfy the filter clause?

I think it might be (fm_regional_manager.regional_manager IS NULL) that fixed your issue (IS NULL instead of = Null).
