Thanks to You Brent and Bill Easton
and Sorry
Hrmm , that what happen when not clipping direct into mail program ,
here is the Original :-) :
Select A.DepartmentName,A.Address,P.Postcode,P.cityname,CP.firstname
from caddress A,cpostinfo P
left Join CContactPerson CP , caddresscontactperson CACP ,ccontactinfo
CCI on CP.ID =1001 and CACP.ContactpersonID=CP.ID and
CACP.AddressID=A.ID and
CACP.ID=CCI.AddressContactPersonID and CCI.AddressID=-1 and
CCI.ContactInfoTypeID=1
where A.ID=10 and A.PostInfoID=P.ID
Something was wrong in this query above , so I did rewrite the query :
Select A.DepartmentName,A.Address,P.Postcode,P.cityname
,CP.firstname
from caddress A,cpostinfo P
Left join CContactPerson CP
on CP.ID=1001
left join caddresscontactperson CACP ,ccontactinfo CCI
on CACP.ContactpersonID=1001 and CACP.AddressID=10 and
CCI.AddressID=-1 and CCI.AddressContactpersonID=CACP.ID and
CCI.contactInfotypeID=1
where A.ID=10 and A.PostInfoID=P.ID
but I still do not understand :
if I just have one record in caddresscontactperson the query return
a the correct answer but I caddresscontactperson are a empty table
it give my empty answer - why not
-->company , streeet ,2000,copenhagen , NULL
I know I use addresscontactperson in my left join , but why does that
influent other that giving me a NULL for the CP.firstname value
