Hi Having a bit of bother with this one, wondering if anyone has the answer,
I've got two tables one is News items News_ID News etc... 1 Today in .....etc 2 Hello world .....etc 3 Blar di blar....etc 4 And now time for something else . . 100 The last thing and the other is comments on the news items (as well as other things on the web site) Type Comment_ID Comment etc... News 1 What about today then... News 1 This is still today........... News 4 This parot is dead...... NotNews 4 Hello.............. What I am trying to get is one SELECT statment that will give me News_ID News Comment_Count etc... 1 Today in ... 2 2 Hello world. 0 3 Blar di blar 0 4 And now ...etc 1 I've tried quite a few SELECTs using LEFT JOIN and HAVING and the best I can do is a news list showing only Items that have Comments so the above would have returned only NEWS_ID 1 and 4 but not giving 2 and 3 were I want 1,2,3,4.....100. Please help, sorry if this is kids stuff but I'm only just starting with MySQL.
