Brian and all, thanks for the help, here is the sql that does what I wanted to do!
This gives me all the leave types in table 'a' and either a sum or null for values
from table 'b'. Thanks again!
SELECT
a.LEAVE_CATEG_ID,
a.LEAVE_TYPE_CD,
a.LPET_LONG_DD,
Sum(l.ORIGINAL_INPUT_AM)
FROM EFF_LEVPOL_EVNT_TYPE_TBL a, LEAVE_DETL_TBL l
WHERE a.LEAVE_TYPE_CD = l.evnt_type_cd(+)
AND l.INTERNAL_EMPL_ID(+)='0000000357'
AND l.EFFECTIVE_DT(+) Between TO_DATE('01/01/2001','MM/DD/YYYY')
And TO_DATE('12/31/2001','MM/DD/YYYY')
GROUP BY a.LEAVE_CATEG_ID, a.LEAVE_TYPE_CD, a.LPET_LONG_DD
