Use an OUTER JOIN. SELECT * FROM table01 one INNER JOIN table02 two ON one.id = two.fk_id
This will only return rows from table01 that also have matching values in table02. SELECT * FROM table01 one LEFT JOIN table02 two ON one.id = two.fk_id This, however, will return ALL rows from table01 and any rows that have matching values in table02. <!----------------//------ andy matthews web developer ICGLink, Inc.

I would like to include the records with missing columns and have those columns just be blank. Is that a possibility?
