What I am trying to do is select all the rows out of the categories table (see below) and select the sum of j_amount out of the judgment table. Right now it is only returning the categories that are in the judgment table. I want it to return those fields with the amounts out of the judgment table, but also the all the other categories from the categories table with 0 as there amount. Does anyone have a suggestion.
select ca_code,ca_desc,sum(j_amount) as sum_amt,ca_dis_cycle from categories LEFT OUTER JOIN judgment ON (j_category=ca_code) where j_case_no='45698' and j_party_no=1 group by ca_code,ca_desc,ca_dis_cycle Thanks, Shaun --------------------------------------------------------------------- Shaun, <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Phone 1-317-913-4160 Fax 1-317-913-4175 CSI - Computer Systems, Inc. <http://www.computer-systems.com/> "Dictionary is the only place that success comes before work.
