I have not messed with SQLlite that much (just some simple tables, no joining). But I have work with Oracle, Sybase, and a little DB2. The standard for a left outer join using your query below would be:

select xcat.Category, count(xc.CaseID) as NumCases
from Category as xcat
left outer join Cases as xc on xcat.CategoryID = xc.CategoryID
where xc.CaseID in (3145)
group by xcat.Category
order by xcat.Category;

It looks like you forgot the 'outer' part of the syntax. But based on what I read on what you want, that is correct. You do want a left outer join.


"left join" is short for "left outer join", just as "join" on it's own is short for "inner join".

I've tried "left outer join" anyway, still the same result, no outer functionality.

Any other ideas?
