How about something like this? Not sure if it does the join before or after the where clause...
Select * from lessons left join students on lessons.lessonID=students.lessonID where students.studentID=#studentID# or ISNULL students.studentID -----Original Message----- From: Steve Bryant [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, March 14, 2005 3:16 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: Re: SQL Join Challenge Nope. That returns only rows from lessons where either no matching row exists in the students table at all or where a matching row exists for that student. In other words, it eliminates any lessons for which there is a match in the students table, but not for the given student.
