Hi all.

My 2 tables are as follow.

Item | Supp |
-------------
1 | 22
2 |
3 | 11

Table SUPPLIER
Supp | Name
--------------
11 | ABC
22 | DEF
33 | ZYX

My Script.

Select A.item b.name from ITEM A
join SUPPLIER B
on A.SUPP = B.SUPP

My results.

Item | NAME |
-------------
1 | DEF
3 | ABC

I want it not to loose my second item. It can even display it then as..

Item | NAME |
-------------
1 | DEF
2 |
3 | ABC

or

Item | NAME |
-------------
1 | DEF
2 | NONE
3 | ABC

Please Help.
