I have this query: SELECT * FROM news_category LEFT JOIN news_x_cat ON news_category.id = news_x_cat.cat_id WHERE ( news_x_cat.news_id = 9 OR news_x_cat.news_id IS NULL )
Which gives me this output: id title perm show news_id cat_id 1 About Us 1 1 NULL NULL 2 Learn About Your Hair 1 1 NULL NULL 3 Press Room 0 0 9 3 4 Research News 0 0 9 4 Its Padding out with NULLs fine for the first 2 but missing out a few other records from news_category. What I want the query to do is display all the news_categorys if they are mentioned in news_x_cat or not and if they don't have any data with in news_x_cat I need this bit padded out with NULLs. Any ideas where I am going wrong? Cheers John Wards -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe: http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
