this is not a one-to-one as a user can make many comments but a comment belongs to one user only, so I guess the left join returns more than necesary. but I'm kind of stuck on that one :/ > I suggest reading > http://www.xaprb.com/blog/2006/04/26/sql-coding-standards/ I read it thanks but I still can't find a way to do it right, I mean I am following this pattern right no?: select column ... from table ... where criterion ... group by groupingclause ... having havingclause ... order by orderingclause ...
