I know this is not strictly a CF issue, but I'm trying to find the most efficient way of doing this, and a single query seems faster than 2 queries plus a query of queries.
I have two tables, one of student names, one of addresses. Students: id, name, emplID Addresses: emplID, addressType, addressline1, city, state, Student table data: 1, john dooley, 1234567 2, jane dooley, 2345678 3, tom dooley, 33456780 Addresses table data: 1234567, onCampus, 101 Dowman, null, null 1234567, home address, 100 main street, springfield, IL 1234567, permanent forward, 120 main street, Atlanta, GA 2345678, home address, 200 main street, springfield, MO 2345678, temporary forward, 130 main street, Atlanta, GA 3456789, home address, 300 main street, springfield, GA Every student has a home address. Some have permanent or temporary forwards. The query results I want to return are * All the student names * If they have permanent or temporary forward, that address * If they do not, a null for the address (NOT the home address or onCampus address) I've tried an outer join with a 'where addressType = 'permanent or temporary', but that doesn't give me all the names, just the ones with a forward.
