Hi there
I want to do a left outer join but i also have a bunch of where conditions in my sql statment that i need. Can anyone help me out: SELECT title, authorName, journalName, journalPages, aname, tname, avg(ranking) FROM publications, area, topic, pubTopicInt, LEFT OUTER JOIN ranking publications.pubID = ranking.pubID WHERE publications.areaID = area.areaID AND publications.pubID = pubTopicInt.pubID AND topic.topicID = pubTopicInt.topicID AND publications.pubID = ranking.pubID AND publications.pubID = 3 GROUP BY (publications.pubID); I look at the mysql documentation, but i couldn't really understand their examples when they had additional where cluases.
