Hi,
There are two drivers for Access database in CF9 :

If I choose the first one, the query below works and yield the same results as

However, If I use the driver with Unicode, the LEFT JOIN returns no data.

Both are JDBC, in that CF only knows JDBC. The first driver is part of
SequeLink, which is a DataDirect product that acts as a JDBC-ODBC
bridge. The second driver is a JDBC-to-Jet driver and doesn't rely on
anything else - Jet is the native protocol for MS Access. I believe
it's open-source,
thats because cf5 used ODBC datasources as it was written in C++
