Hi All I have two tables User and Company
User tables has userid , companyid and status Company table has companyid and companyname It's not necessary that all users should have company.There can be users without company also and for them the companyid is null. so i need all the users whose status are active and if they have companyid , i need the companyname of their company In Oracle i can write this as select u.userid , (select companyname from company where companyid = u.companyid) from users u where u.status = 'ACT' how do i get this in mysql i wrote one query select u.userid , c.companyname from users u , company c where u.companyid = c.companyid AND u.status = 'ACT' This returned only the users who have company...how do i take the users also who doesnt have a company Regards -Arul --------------------------------------------------------------------- Before posting, please check: http://www.mysql.com/manual.php (the manual) http://lists.mysql.com/ (the list archive) To request this thread, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To unsubscribe, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Trouble unsubscribing?
