Hi,

  I am tring to do a select from 2 tables.

Table1: 
sku
title

Table 2:
sku
feature

SELECT table1.title, table2.feature FROM table1,
table2 WHERE table1.sku in ($sku1, $sku2, $sku3) ORDER
BY FIELD(table1.sku, $sku1, $sku2, $sku3) ASC

That seems to work to some extint, but I am getting
way too many results (more than 3).  It's returning
all combinations of sku and feauture even if they
don't share the same sku.

I modified the select to:

SELECT table1.title, table2.feature FROM table1,
table2 WHERE (table1.sku = $table2.sku) AND table1.sku
in ($sku1, $sku2, $sku3) ORDER BY FIELD(table1.sku,
$sku1, $sku2, $sku3) ASC

That seemed to work almost correctly.  I have some
items in table2 that don't have a feature and therefor
don't have a row associated with them.


For example, if I have 3 items in each table, the
above select works fine.

If I have 3 items in table1 and 2 items in table2 the
above query only gives me 2 results.

table1 will always be fully populated and table2 might
be missing some features.

How can I run my query to get 3 results and if the
feature is missing still return the table.title and
NULL for the feature?

Thanks,
Grant
