Sadly, it was a typo in the email (apologies for that), but not in the query:
SELECT Applicants.AppID, Applicants.Name, Applicants.Email, Reviews.Quant, Reviews.Qual FROM ApplicantStatus INNER JOIN Applicants ON Applicants.AppID = ApplicantStatus.AppID LEFT JOIN Reviews ON Reviews.AppID = Applicants.AppID WHERE ApplicantStatus.Active = 1 AND Reviews.ReviewerID = 2 AND ApplicantStatus.SCode = '####'; produces the result I described. --Chris > If "C.Reviewer.ID" is a typo for "Reviews.ReviewerID", the solution is simple: >> There's something I'm not getting about how to put a SELECT restriction on a query with an outer join. The following query: >> SELECT Applicants.AppID, Applicants.Name, Applicants.Email, >> Reviews.Quant, Reviews.Qual FROM ApplicantStatus INNER JOIN Applicants >> ON Applicants.AppID = ApplicantStatus.AppID LEFT JOIN Reviews ON >> Reviews.AppID = Applicants.AppID WHERE ApplicantStatus.Active = 1 AND >> ApplicantStatus.SCode = '####' >> AND Reviews.ReviewerID = 2; >> returns only Applicants who have reviews from Reviewer # 2. What I want is *all* applicants who meet the other two criteria (Active, and SCode =...), and *any* reviews by Reviewer 2 for any of those applicants (if Reviewer 2 hasn't written for Applicant a, then a should still be in the result set, but with the Reviews.* columns as NULL). >> When I remove the final "ReviewerID = 2" restriction, all of the right applicants are in the dataset--but with a lot of extra rows due to reviews by other reviewers. How do I get rid of Reviewers {1, 3...n}, without losing all the applicants who've never met Reviewer #2? -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe: http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
