fixed it, i needed a LEFT JOIN!!



SELECT c.id, c.caseNumber, t.courtDate FROM `case` as c LEFT JOIN trial as t ON c.id = t.caseID;


... just in case anybody else comes across this page.

I have two tables, i do a simple join on it (the only one i know how)
but i want the results to show even though the join a.... ahh...

here i can show you faster than i can tell you....

Case table.
id,
caseNumber

Trial table
id
caseID //foreign key to Case.id
courtDate

I want a query that gives me all the cases even though they dont' have a row in the Trial table.

How do i do that?


My query is simplified to show the point, but it involves 5 tables.

Thanks in advance!
